Calculated Table

Hello Trying to get a top n and others calculation going on for some visuals I created a calculated table to get distinct names from a client table using this 

Customers Plus Others =
Union(
VALUES(ClientType[Client]), --get table of all customer names
Row( "Customers", "Others") --get table of Others
)
Table shows up correctly on visual no problem , now when I try to add my total tonnage measure, the same amount gets repeated
this is the measure for total tonnage: 
Total Tons = SUM('Sales Values'[Tonnage])

How can i fix this? the client type table has a relationship with the sales values table if I use the customer names from the client Type table I have no problems the only thing I don't have a "Others"row

This woks but not what I was looking for since I am crating a top n with an "Others" row. I found the solution by creating another measure: 

Total Tons 2 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sales Values'[Tonnage] ), TREATAS ( VALUES ( 'Customers Plus Others'[Customers]), ClientType[Client] ) )
 
and this gives me the result I was looking for cmgp01_0-1632224834116.png

 

Thanks for your help!!

Hi @Anonymous ,

If not want to use the relationship in the previous table, you can create the calculated table like this:

Customers Plus Others = UNION('ClientType','Customers')

Create the total measure:

Total =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Sales Values'[Tonnage] ),
    FILTER (
        'Sales Values',
        'Sales Values'[ID] IN DISTINCT ( 'Customers Plus Others'[ID] )
    )
)
