Use a calculated measure with a condition

[Charles-C]

Hi,

I need some help and guidance please.

I have the below table with an Employee, Manager, and sales. For every manager there is a Supervisor and as you will see there is $0 sales for each of the supervisors. The Supervisors totals are measured on all the sales done by their team i.e.: Employee “D” should have a total sales value of $2170 similarly Employee “O” should have a total sales amount of $1993.

I can’t use an IF or a SWITCH formula as I cannot reference the Employee in the formula.

Sales with Supervisor =

IF(

    'Dim Employee'[Employee] = "D", --This produces and error which is expected

    [Sales AB],

    [Sales]]

)

How can I get the total sales per manager to reflect for the respective Supervisor and for the rest of the employees their normal sales?

Hi , @Charles-C 

According to your description, you want to calculate the "Supervisor" sales.

Here are the steps you can refer to ：
(1)If you want to show in the measure , you just need to put the fields on the visual. And you can use this measure to show the Supervisor Name:

Manager Name = CALCULATE( MAX('Table'[Employee]) , 'Table'[Role]="Supervisor")

(2)If you want to create a calcualted column in your table , you can use this dax code:

Column = var _cur_manager =[Manager]
var _sum = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Manager] = _cur_manager) , [Sales])
return
IF([Role]="Supervisor"  ,_sum ,[Sales])

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi @v-yueyunzh-msft,

Thank you for the reply and the solution, the calculated column worked. In my actual scenario I had to create a Summarized table and then add the calculated column but in all the issue has been resolved.
