SUM() OVER..PARTITION BY in PowerBI?

Updated: Dec 14, 2022





This is the case I was facing in a project recently:

I had

-a unique product ID,

-a common ProductCode & ProductName and

-a specific quantity for each.




On Dataverse, this was two rows in the Products entity.

I needed the TotalQuantity per ProductCode , to perform a specific calculation for the pricing of each ProductCode.


So, I practically needed a new Column (here: 'TotalQuantity') which would sum the Quantity Column per Product Code.


This is what my table looked like in Excel:


Looks familiar? In SQL Server , I would achieve this with SUM() OVER....PARTITION BY : Check out this blog post about this clause.


You can do the same thing with a Measure in Power BI and this is the Syntax:


TotalQuantity = CALCULATE(SUM(QuantityFieldNameinyourTable); FILTER(ALL('YourTableName'); [ProductCodeFieldName] = MIN(ProductCodeFieldName) && [ProductNameFieldName] = MIN([ProductNameFieldName] )&& etc)


II NOTE! Before applying this solution (which actually works!) please refer to Microsoft Learn https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/best-practices/dax-avoid-avoid-filter-as-filter-argument where it is recommended to use KEEPFILTERS instead!


Awesome stuff.
