Summing values in a row

[abukapsoun]

Hi,

Need your help again and again please,

I have the following case:

P1   P2   P3   P4  

1      4     3    4

2      6     3    1 

3      7     1    1 

How can I create a new table to have the following

P1           P2             P3             P4 

Sum(P1) Sum (P2) Sum (P3)  Sum (P4)

Thanks,

Moh

Hey,

as always there is more than 1 way to achieve what you want, for this reason I created a little Power BI file

This file contains 3 tables

Table1 - sample data, created using the function "Enter Data"

UsingPowerQuery - a table created by using the Function "Group By" from the Ribbon "Transform"

UsingDAX - This table is created by the following DAX statement

UsingDAX = 
SUMMARIZE('Table1', "P1sum", SUM('Table1'[P1]),"P2sum", SUM('Table1'[P2]), "P3sum", SUM('Table1'[P3]),"P4sum", SUM('Table1'[P4]))

Without knowing the exact use case for this requirement, my recommendation will be to go with the PowerQuery exmple.

From my point of view, tables created using Power Query can be used as persistet tables in the Data Model of Power BI, whereas tables created using DAX statements are in a way static, so the content of these tables are not controlled by the selection of slicers.

Hope this gets you started
