DAX: Sum of Distinct Value against category

Hi,

 

I am working on Power BI Project and have table with Category and Revenue Amount.

I am looking to SUM Distinct Revenue Amount of Same Category ,but not getting correct Syntax

 

I am looking to Create NEW DAX Measure, I cannot create Separate table in Model, Only Additional DAX Measure need can be added.

When data is See for

Category  A : Output should be 10+20=30

Category B: Output Should be 5+15=20

Category C: Output Should be 3

Category D : Output Should be 1

Please assist with DAX Measure

Hi, @sheikhbiuser , you may use this measure

 

Sum Distinct = SUMX(SUMMARIZE(DATA, DATA[Category], DATA[Revenue]), DATA[Revenue])

btw, it's fairly easy to get the job done in Power Query.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI0UIrVwWAaYYg6AZmmWFiGEKYzkGmMxnIBSSvFxgIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t, Revenue = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Revenue", Int64.Type}}),

    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Category"}, {{"Distinct", each List.Sum(List.Distinct([Revenue]))}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
