How to sum different values Separately which are Text type,timestamp,% and $ (money) in a column

Hi, 

I have Dummy data below  which has two columns (Values  and SignType), and I want to calculate the sum of each sign type as per below-expected answer, the first calculation we're summing values with this two signs ($,$k)

For First Measure/calculation, see the below-expected answer 

($,$k (Sum will be $10+$20+$1000+$1000 )) =2030  (a full integer is okay )

For  second Measure/calculation, see the below-expected answer 

(HH:MM(01:05+02:05))=03:10HH:MM

For  third Measure/calculation, see the below-expected answer 

(%)(50%+10%)=60%

 

Below is dummy data with the above-expected answers.

 

Values         SignType

10                  $

20                  $

1000              $k

2000              $k

01:05:00      hh: mm

02:05:00      hh:mm

50                 %

10                 %

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @MYDATASTORY ,

 

Sorry for that Time and Whole Number are different types, so they cannot be added in the same column.

 

We find a way to get the result you can refer it.

 

1. Copy two tables in Power Query and filter each table. One filters not “hh:mm” type, another filters “hh:mm”type.

How 2.jpg

 

2. Then we need to create calculate column in two tables.

 

Column = 
IF([SignType]="$"||[SignType]="$k",CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Values]),ALLSELECTED()),CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Values]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table (2)'),'Table (2)'[SignType]="%")))

 

How 3.jpg

 

Column = SUMX(ALLSELECTED('Table (3)'),TIMEVALUE('Table (3)'[Values]))

 

How 4.jpg

 

And we need to change the column type to Text.

 

How 5.jpg

 

3. At last we can use the UNION function to append two tables, the result like this,

 

Table 2 = UNION('Table (2)','Table (3)')

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

Hi , 

I have a  two-column table, Value and ValueSymbol  I want to calculate three measures, below is the expected answer, please note $6+k$4 has different ValueSymbol but I would like to add them together.

 

Below is sample dummy data

 

  • $100+k$1000 =1100   
  • 01:30HH:MM+02:30HH:MM =04:00HH:MM
  • 10%+5%=15%

Value     ValueSymbol  

100            $

1000          k$

01:30        HH: MM

02:30        HH: MM

10            %

5              %

 

Thanks in advance

@MYDATASTORY , you can not sum up the variable kind of data. check for each data and sum it up. create some calculated columns and sperate these
