what if date is same

[Zaibsrule88]

I'm new on PBI, working on a report where Ive to show QTY for a user for specific day - Problem is if user go out twice or more Ive to show only assign QTY.

Date	Name	Assigned QTY
8/27/2022	JOHN	35
8/27/2022	JOLYY	35
8/27/2022	JOHN	35
		105

This is what I need

Date	Name	Assigned QTY
8/27/2022	JOHN	35
8/27/2022	JOLYY	35
8/27/2022	JOHN
		70

@littlemojopuppy , have you created a messure called AssignedQTY and remove duplicates in that measure? If you simply sum up AssignedQTY, that won't remove the duplicates. To remove the duplicate, you need to

1. in the fact table, create a new column to calculate the number of times a name appearing on a specific day. If a name appear twice on the same day, column duplicate count will generate 2.

2. create a measure to make sure if a name appear more than once on the same day, the total QTY should be divided by duplicate count. Below is the table showing the correct QTY.

Hi @Zaibsrule88 

Please new a measure.

Total =
VAR _table =
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Code], 'Table'[Date], 'Table'[AvailableCap] )
VAR _total =
    SUMX ( _table, 'Table'[AvailableCap] )
RETURN
    _total

The PBIX file is attached for reference.

Thank you @v-cgao-msft 

It solves the issue.

Thank you

Correct me if I get you wrong. In your original table (e.g., fact_QTY ) duplicate recored are created because a new record is generated each time a user goes out or moves. To remove duplicate records, you can create a summary table as below. 

fact_QTY_summarize=summarize(fact_QTY,  fact_QTY[Date], fact_QTY[NameAssigned QTY])

Thank you for your help.

Correct , each time user goes out or move system creates a new record with new code with fixed QTY.

best way is count the duplicates, based on dates and devide the fixed Qty on Count.

Thank you

@Jeanxyz it's not a good idea to start creating tables to support individuial visualizations.  Create a nice, clean star/snowflake design and write measures appropriately.

I'm also thinking there needs to be some thought about repeating ABC twice in the same day in a visualization.

[littlemojopuppy]

Hi @Zaibsrule88.  Define a measure for Total QTY = SUM(AssignedQTY).  On a matrix visual, drop date and name in rows and the measure Total QTY for values.

There's no need to alter the underlying table for this.  Hope this helps!

First of all Thank you for your response and really appriciate it,

I will try to explain the issue in more detail/

I have to assign a fixed target to each member " lets say forty"

sometimes name appears twice in a date and the problem is I dont have to remove it , I want build a way that if name appears twice in a day I assign a fixed value to that particular name only once,

lets say 

abc 40

xyz  40 

abc "Repeated" "Should be 0 " because its repeated twice in same day

@Zaibsrule88 I don't believe you should have to alter data to achieve this.  It sounds like the kind of thing that could be handled in a visual or in how a measure is defined.  Can you provide some sample data to play with?

[Zaibsrule88]

  I want sum to be 55 and 65 if code and date is same
