Hello.
I am trying to replicate an Excel SumIfs formula in Power BI. The excel formula is =SumIfs(Hours Worked,Name Column, A5,Start Date, H5). Where A5 is the name in the corresponding row and H5 is the date in the corresponding row. I need to try and use this in Power BI. The list of names and dates is very long and has many unique values.
Thanks!

Hi @cpatton10 ,
Please try this DAX to create a calculated column:
SumHoursWorked = CALCULATE(
SUM(WorkData[Hours Worked]),
FILTER(
WorkData,
WorkData[Name Column] = EARLIER(WorkData[Name Column]) && WorkData[Start Date] = EARLIER(WorkData[Start Date])
)
)
If this DAX doesn't work, please provide a bit of sample data and the calculations you wish to perform.
