DAX Formula for Summarizing Transactions by Partner

To summarize the transactions in the column Sales based on the column Partner, you can use the following DAX formula:

DAX Formula

Total Sales by Partner = SUMMARIZE(SalesTable, SalesTable[Partner], "Total Sales", SUM(SalesTable[Sales]))

Explanation of the Formula

• SUMMARIZE: This function is used to group data. It creates a new table with unique values from specified columns along with the calculations you want to perform.

• SalesTable: This is the name of the table where the Sales and Partner columns are located. Replace SalesTable with the actual name of your table.

• SalesTable[Partner]: This specifies that you want to group the summarized data by the values in the Partner column.

• "Total Sales": This is the name of the new column that will hold the summarized sales totals for each partner.

• SUM(SalesTable[Sales]): This part calculates the total sales for each partner by summing the values in the Sales column.

Practical Example

Suppose you have a table named SalesData with the following content:

Using the DAX formula provided:

Total Sales by Partner = SUMMARIZE(SalesData, SalesData[Partner], "Total Sales", SUM(SalesData[Sales]))

The resulting summarized table will be:

Conclusion

The DAX formula effectively summarizes sales transactions based on partners, providing insights into total sales contributions from each partner. This approach is essential for data analysis within the Power BI environment, where users can visualize and interpret partner performance clearly.
