DAX - SUM

[AmudhaKumaran]

Hi Team,

I have a column with both numbers & Text. Is there a way to sum only numeric values in that column using a single measure?

Eg:

I have a table like shown below. I need a measure to show the sum of total events as 12(by adding 7 & 5 in cnt column).

Thanks in advance!

Hi @AmudhaKumaran ,

Please create a calculated column to check only for numeric data as below

check text/num = IFERROR ( VALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Total] ), 0 )

Thereafter create a measure to sum the column

Appreciate your Kudos..!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for yor response. What you suggested would absolutely work for a standalone dataset. However, I'm using a data model that is in datalake and I don't manage it. Means, I cannot create columns. I can only create measures withing my report. 

So that's why I'm trying to figure out my issue using a measure.

@AmudhaKumaran , I would advise to create a new numeric column in power query
