create measures to sum up certains accounts in power bi

Hi All PowerBI expert,

 

I have following tables:
1. main transaction table [account_id, transaction_id, amount, date]

2. account table [account_id, name, account_group_id]

3. account group table [account_group_id, name]

4. a calendar table [Date, day, month,year ...etc]

 

I need to create a measure to sum up value from certain accounts and account group.

Eg:

I need calculate value by summing up following:

1. account group 1 -[ sum of account A and B]

2. account group 2 -[account C and D]

3. account F

4. account A

 

you can see 3 -Account F and 4 - Account 4 are on lower level in hierachy

account A is also part of account group 1

 

Is it possible to create a measure/measures to sum up 1,2,3,4 together and display in a bar chart with year as the x axis?

 

Thanks

@Anonymous not sure in 1st and 2nd case, you want to group all the accounts in that groups and subtract Account a and b in the first case and account c and d in 2nd case? Is that correct understanding?

hi Thanks for replying.

 

I want to calculate the value = sum(account group 1+account group 2+account A+account F)

 

account A also appear in account group 1 so if I represent the formula with accounts only, it would be like this:

value = sum(account A+ account B + account C+account D+account A+account F)

is there an efficient to create a measure using the relationship to produce the formula with both account groups and account?
