Hi, i am quite new to Power BI, but i am trying to make some with data ive successfully exported from our ERP system.
I am now trying to have two collumns that one that summarize the positive numbers, and one that summarize the negative numbers, and show the total number on the bottom of my table.
I am using the following formulas (where i successfully get the required output):
INN = SUMX(PROJINVOICEJOUR,PROJINVOICEJOUR[FAKTURERT])
UT = CALCULATE(SUMX(PROJTRANSPOSTING,PROJTRANSPOSTING[AMOUNTMST]),PROJTRANSPOSTING[POSTINGTYPE]<>122)
UTTAK = CALCULATE(SUMX(PROJTRANSPOSTING,PROJTRANSPOSTING[AMOUNTMST]),PROJTRANSPOSTING[ACCOUNT]="2901")
I then try the two following formulas for each of the abovementioned collumns in my visual table
Collumn 1 (visual) = IF(([INN]-[UTTAK]-[UT])>0,([INN]-[UTTAK]-[UT]),"")
Collumn 2 (visual) = IF(([INN]-[UTTAK]-[UT])<0,([INN]-[UTTAK]-[UT]),"")
The individual lines seems to show the correct numbers, but my totals are completely off, and is even missing on Collumn 2. (See printscreen).
I was wondering if anyone has any tips that could please point me in the right direction for this.
I would highly appreciate any help on this subject.
Has anyone had a chance to take a look at this? 🙂
After hours on google i have now tried the following formula with no success.
FORMULA =
VAR _UTTAK = CALCULATE(SUMX(PROJTRANSPOSTING,PROJTRANSPOSTING[AMOUNTMST]),PROJTRANSPOSTING[ACCOUNT]="2901")
VAR _UT = CALCULATE(SUMX(PROJTRANSPOSTING,PROJTRANSPOSTING[AMOUNTMST]),PROJTRANSPOSTING[POSTINGTYPE]<>122)
VAR _INN = SUMX(PROJINVOICEJOUR,PROJINVOICEJOUR[FAKTURERT])
return IF(_INN-_UT-_UTTAK<0,_INN-_UT-_UTTAK,0)
I get the following error message from that link.

return IF(_INN-_UT-_UTTAK<0,_INN-_UT-_UTTAK,0)
I have not yet figured this out, and i do not know how to export raw data from my dataset.
I hope i can provide with more useful information to find a solution to this problem.
Thank you!

Well, you can just export the underlying dataset. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Dear Edhans,
Thank you very much for your feedback. The collumn 1 and collumn 2 is just names for the collumns in the visual table.
All calculations from the table is done in calculation INN, UT and UTTAK.
="2901" and <>122 is filtered values from different collumns from my data table, as i am exporting accounting data from our ERP system, numbers are from different accounts and categories.
PROJTRANSPOSTING[AMOUNTMST] can be costs, revenue or profits - it just depends on these filters/categories.
Unfortunately i dont think i will be able to share any data - I will check tomorrow if we have some "dummy" data in our ERP system to avoid sharing any confidential information.
I will take note of your comment regarding "" as else, and use BLANK() instead.
Since my visual table collums show data calculated from several database tables that are connected, i dont know how to compute this inside a new database table collumn.
You can use RELATED or RELATEDTABLE to get data from one table into another in a calculated column.
That said, I, like you, much prefer a measure, but I'd need some fake data to assist with here.

MCSA: BI ReportingDear Edhans,
Thanks again for your involvement. I am trying to sort out how to export raw data from my power bi data tables.
All my data is exported/connected to the SQL server of our ERP system - And i cannot seem to find an easy way to export this.
It depends on the granularity of your data. The totals in a Power BI visual do not add up the numbers above, they recalculate at a total level with no filters.
I would consider adding your Positive and Negative columns as either computed columns in Power Query or calculated columns in Power BI, then add those columns to your report. That will preserve the line item granularity.
I am not sure what your formulas above are doing exactly. ="2901" and <>122 seem arbitrary to me, though I am sure it is meaningful in your data. If you could post sample data or link to a sample PBIX file (no confidential info though) it would be helpful.
One other thing to do is not use "" as your else condition. I recommend either of the following:
Collumn 1 =
IF(
( [INN] - [UTTAK] - [UT] ) > 0,
( [INN] - [UTTAK] - [UT] ),
0
)
Collumn 1 =
IF(
( [INN] - [UTTAK] - [UT] ) > 0,
( [INN] - [UTTAK] - [UT] ),
BLANK()
)
It is also not clear what INN, UTTAK and UT are. Those are in the syntax of measures, but then you are referring to them as inside columns, which is not common, unless you are just referring to the columns in a table visual vs columns in the model.

MCSA: BI ReportingDear Edhans,
I did not manage to export the raw data, but i managed to export the table into excel, and do the calculations there, i also made a comment above all collumns where i get the data from.
The tables PROJTRANSPOSTING and PROJINVOICEJOUR is related with a collumn containing project number.
I hope this can give an idea of what i am trying to achieve, and how to get there.
The dataset can be downloaded on the following link:

Thank you very much.
