sum measure from different cards

[DECRE83]

Hello,

So I have a page where I need to add certain steps on a transportation route. Each step of the route has a cost. At the end, I need a measure that sums the total of the individual steps, thus, giving me the total cost of the route.

The problem is that the measure I made is adding the total costs of all the different steps I have in my dataset, not filtering only the three steps in the specific route I selected in my slicers.

What can I do?

Hi  @DECRE83 
Welcome to the Microsoft Fabric Forum,

Regarding the measure to sum only the selected steps for the transportation route:

Since all step costs are stored in a single table, and the requirement is for the total to reflect only the steps selected through the slicers, a measure should be created that dynamically respects the current filter context.

Use SUMX function :

DAX:

Total Selected Route Cost = 
SUMX( VALUES(Table[StepID]), 
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[StepCost])) )

If steps are uniquely identified by multiple columns (category, location1,location2) adjust the measure:

DAX:

Total Selected Route Cost = 
SUMX( 
SUMMARIZE( Table, 
Table[Category], 
Table[Location1], 
Table[Location2] ), 
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[StepCost])) )

thank you for your response!

The tables are not disconnected, the step costs are in a table that have the different cobinations with point a - point b - cost, point b - point c - cost.

So I can´t calculate three different measures to sum the steps since the data is in one table.

If you have a disconnected table for each of the cards with fields "category", "location1" and "location2". You then have 3 measures, one per card like

Calculate(

Sum(table[step cost]),

Treatas(

summarize(

disconnectedtable1,

disconnectedtable1[category], disconnectedtable1[location1], disconnectedtable1[location2]

), 

Summarize(

Table

Table[category],

Table[location1],

Table[location2]

)

)

Then for the total, sum the 3 measures together

Not sure on the structure of your model, but this kind of approach should work
