Hi all,
I am struggling with how to sum the individual values in the reasons_for_refusal column (screenshot below)
So what I am trying to achieve is the total of all rows which contains RC10 and so on - seperatley.

Hi,
Ideally, in the Query Editor, you should first use the Split column > By delimiter and in the Advanced optios, select rows. This will ensure that each cell has only one reason. Then you can write this measure
Number of reasons = counta(Data[reasons_for_refusal])
Hope this helps.

@JayTG123 sorry not sure what you mean? Can you share how your table looks like? Paste sample data in a table format. Looks like the column you are trying to sum is not a number column but it is a text column.

@JayTG123 you can write a measure:
Sum =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount], CONTAINSSTRING ( Table[Your Column], "RC10" ) )
As a best practice, split your column into rows in power query and then it should be straightforward.

Hi @parry2k thanks for the reply. I have split the column and attempted the dax formula but I am now recieving the generic error message: "the function sum cannot work with values of type string power bi"
