Hello! So I am working on a project and trying to mutliply employee hours by their pay rate based on pay grade but I seem to be having an issue. I've tried using SUMX * SUM but its giving me widly massive numbers like 25M and my total should be around 565K. I have two tables with MANY*MANY relationship using PAY GRADE. I think I am using the wrong formula specifically SUM Hrly rate, any help would be very appreciated!
Pay Measure = SUMX('Hours','Hours'[Hours]) * SUM('PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate])
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Sorry, it was complicated by me. Just try this:
1. Create [Pay Measure 1].
Pay Measure 1 = SUM( 'Hours'[Hours] ) * SUM ( 'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate] )
2. Create [Pay Measure 2].
Pay Measure 2 =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Hours[Employee ID] ),
[Pay Measure 1],
SUMX ( Hours, [Pay Measure 1] )
)

Hi @Anonymous ,
Create the measure like so:
Pay Measure 2 =
VAR table_ =
SUMMARIZE (
Hours,
Hours[Employee ID],
Hours[Pay Grade],
Hours[Hours],
'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate],
"Sum_", [Hours] * [Hrly Rate]
)
RETURN
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Hours[Employee ID] ),
SUMX ( 'Hours', 'Hours'[Hours] ) * SUM ( 'PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate] ),
SUMX ( table_, [Sum_] )
)

Hello,
Thanks for the reponse and help! I tried using the measure you provided but I am unable to select 'PAY RATES' table it is not listed when I try to add the last line in SUMMARIZE. I noticed your pbix has a 1*1 relationship but mine is MANY*MANY is that why? Also worth noting that on my HOURS table each employee has multiple rows of hours
PAY RATES'[Hrly Rate],
