Refecence Column Total in Measure

[JNM]

One more question and I'll have this table done.

How do I reference the total of a column in a formula in a measure.

I need to create a measure for Recom that multiples the % of sales by the inventory total. Needs to be dynamic based on a Item Filter.
This is what I have so far...

[SIZE=1]='MyTable'[Percent]*10[/SIZE]

I've tried a number of different ways, including the following, but just can't seem to get the right reference.

[SIZE=1]='MyTable Entry'[Percent]*'MyTable'[Sum of Inventory][/SIZE]

In regular Excel, it would be J10*TtlInv or J10*$H$14

Thanks so much...

I got it!!! I needed to change the All part reference from Item to ItemDesc so that it would match the Items column.

Thank you so much!

With this start on DAX formulas, I should be to move forward. I have also purchased a couple books I already have the Pivot Table Data Crunching - an excellent reference for regular pivot tables. Now need to get the ones for PP and Excel 2010.

Hi,

I am struggling the same concept, getting a column total for a calculation in another measure. Can you share your outcome measure to help me understand?

Thanks,
Edward

Hello,

Because I had used the item description as the row header value, I needed to use the item description in the GrandTtlInv measure's formula
[

=Calculate(MyTable[Sum of Inventory],All(MyTable[ItemDesc]))

I've worked in Access a lot and thought I needed to use the "key" field from the item table, which is the item number, but not so. It has to match whatever value from the table that is being used as the row header. At least that is what worked for me in this particular instance.

Yes, that is 100% correct. You should think of ALL() as clearing filters - filters that are set by the pivot itself.

Since the pivot is setting a filter on column X (the column you have on rows), you must clear the filter on X using ALL(X). Clearing filters on another column, even some sort of ID column, will have no impact.

Note that you CAN use ALL() against an entire table. If you have a separate table for products called Products, you can use ALL(Products) and that will be the same as if you had used ALL() against every column in the Products table.

Thanks guys. I've been breaking my head why this did not work, as I was trying the same formulas. I did oversee a - now apparent - major issue: I was retrieving the row values (display label of the row) from another table (look up of description), and was counting table_column in the original table, so CALCULATE(count(table_column), ALL(time)).

If you do that, the function does not bring up the column total but sticks to the cell value. May be I should use related_table or something, but I have chosen the easy way now to prove it works (and it does!).

Great thanks! I will be posting some other (I think more complex) question shortly.
