Sum column values by same row value

Hi there,

 

I have a table which reflects my itemised sales data and includes the following:

 

  • Order Number
  • Item Code
  • Item Description
  • Qty
  • Total Sale

The same order number can be present on multiple rows as it would be a single order for multiple items. I want to create a calculated column that sums all of the Total Sales values by Order Number, to give me a total sale by Order Number value.

 

What is the DAX for this?

 

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

 

I found the error I made, there was a single ")" I missed in the formlua which was difficult to spot...

 

However, I found that the correct formula was in fact to use EARLIER and not MAX.

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi @PaulPed4,

Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

Sample data:

Create below measure:

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]),FILTER(ALL('Table1'),'Table1'[Order Number]=MAX('Table1'[Order Number])))

Result:

Now I have a different issue but related to the same source formula.

 

Now that I have the correct sum of the line items per PO, I need to get an average of those totals. When I place the field in a Card and specify for it to be presented as an average, it gives me an incorrect answer. When I export the table with PO numbers and totals for those POs I get the correct average which is lower than the Card.

 

Now if I create the below Measure the average is calculated correctly. Why?

 

Average PO Spend = AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[PO], "to Average", [Spend Measure]), [Spend Measure])

 

Spend Measure = CALCULATE([Total Spend], FILTER(Table, Table[PO]))

Hi Daniel,

 

I used your formula but PBI is giving me an error stating there are too few arguments for the FILTER function and it requires a minimum of 2?

 

Remembering that I need this to be a New Column and not a Measure, would that make a difference with the formula required?

 

Sorry, still very new to DAX and trying to get my head around it all.

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

 

In your Table visual, drag Order Number and write this measure

 

=SUM(Data[Total Sale])

 

Hope this helps.
