Want to sum a column based on the value of another column in that same table

aherna12_0-1689877232979.png

I have this table, labeled 'BILLINGMATERIALITEM', and I want to sum the 'Total' column only if the 'BillingItemTypeID' column is equal to 33. I tried to do a new measure with the formula if(column = 33, then sum column'Total') but I got an error that said I have to many values that are 33 in the BillingItemTypeID column. There are other values in that column, but all I need is the sum for value 33 and put it in a table on Power BI

Total Supplemental = calculate(sum('BILLINGMATERIALITEM'[Total]),filter('BILLINGMATERIALITEM',('BILLINGMATERIALITEM'[BillingItemTypeId])=33))

 

Changing it to this got it work. Thank you!

with if you need to add agg func with your expression. try this instead

 

TotalForBillingItem33 = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('BILLINGMATERIALITEM'[Total]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('BILLINGMATERIALITEM'),
        'BILLINGMATERIALITEM'[BillingItemTypeID] = 33
    )
)

Yes, this definetly helped! however, I have it in a table where it is getting sorted by the 'Billing ID' column. When I put it in that tabel it just shows me the total sum. Is there any way you can get it so it sorts by the 'Billing ID' column? Thanks!
