I need to create a new column by looking up distinct values from "Bid Number" and "Class" and sum up the "bid value" in the new column. Any help is greatly appreciated.
for example: I want to create "Bid value total" column based on unique values where "Bid Number" & "class" are same.
Bid Number Bid value class Bid value total
151 10 a
151 10 a 20
151 10 b
151 5 b 15
152 10 b
152 20 b 30

You can either create a calculated column
bid value total colum =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( yourTable[Bid value] ),
FILTER (
yourTable,
EARLIER ( yourTable[Bid Number] ) = yourTable[Bid Number]
&& EARLIER ( yourTable[class] ) = yourTable[class]
)
)
Or create a measure and put data in a Table visual.
bid value total measure =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( yourTable[Bid value] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( yourTable, yourTable[Bid Number], yourTable[class] )
)
