setting up a SSDT in Visual Studio where I have masterlist with prices and 3 addtional attributes. These 3 attributes (Region, Customer, Material) can be used to to link the data to the other table with all the sales information etc.
Target: Showing the prices in a pivot if the 3 attributes are fulfilled and are matching to the other table with the same attribute combination. Assuming a calculated column is not solving the problem as this cannot display the price values in the value section of the pivot.
enter image description here
Please help me to find an appropriate DAX measure to link the data and show the prices for the matching attribute combination.
Thanks in advance :)
Masterlist with attributes which can be used as a key to connect to the other list?

How to write measure that could filter Matrix based on True values in selected column names?
Example (download):
Estimated result: want to see only rows with Football = True
P.S. Field parameters are used to create slicer with column names
You'll need to fix this in the data model by introducing a Customer_Sport linking table with bi-directional cross-filtering to Customer.
The requirement:
My users want a slicer which displays the dimensions of a data table they can then select from and have the dimensions display in a corresponding matrix visual along with two measures, Sales TY and Sales LY.
Progress so far.
I’ve achieved this by taking the table, selecting the column which indexes the table and unpivoting the rest of the columns. Next I place a slicer on the report and attach it to the unpivoted table’s Attributes field (now renamed as ‘Column’). Finally, I add a matrix visual to the report and add to it the unpivoted table fields Column, Index and Value fields. Now when I click on the slicer, whichever dimensions I select appear in the matrix.
The problem:
However, when adding the measures previously created (Sales TY and Sales LY) to the matrix, each measure is repeated after every column selected for display, whereas I only want the measures to display once.
Does anyone know if this possible? I’ve tried a number of approaches but nothing seems to work. I’m a new user so apologies if this is an FAQ I’ve yet to come across or I’m doing something glaringly obviously wrong. As I say I’m only just starting out in DAX and Power BI. I’m looking pretty hard at table functions and the Switch statement with the hope of calculating the solution somehow but haven’t managed it yet. Any advice, steer or comment greatly appreciated, thanks.
Source data columns are Store, Product, StoreSales, and ProductSales
StoreSales has duplicate values, even across different Stores.
Looking for a dax measure to handle StoreSales as described in the image.
This is the closest so far, but doesn't account for duplicates between stores.
Store Sales:=
sumx(DISTINCT(_Sales[StoreSales), _Sales[StoreSales])

To answer your question directly, this formula should give you the desired result:
Desired Result for Store Sales =
IF(ISFILTERED(_Sales[Store]), SUM(_Store[Store Sales]))
However, I recommend to revisit your data model design. It's conceptually incorrect (you are mixing detailed data with the summary of the same data), and you will have serious problems with DAX. A better way to structure your data:
Remove column "Store Sales". It's redundant and does not fit the data level of detail.
Rename column "Product Sales" into "Sale Amount". It's just sale amount, without any qualifiers.
Create a measure "Total Sales" = SUM(_Sales[Sale Amount]). It will correctly calculate total sales both on product and store levels.
If you need a special measure for store sales, use SUMX:
Store-level sales = SUMX (VALUES(_Sales[Store]), [Total Sales])
And if you need to show product contributions to store sales:
Product Contribution = `DIVIDE([Total Sales], [Store-Level Sales])
I can create drop down filter options for each of the dimensions in the spreadsheet: month, description, and type. using data validation and then sum(filter in Google Sheets. I want to include an option in the drop-down to include all months, include all types, etc. The end product would sum the amount based on the filters selected. I can sum(filter based on individual selections but my question is how to sum the amounts if one of the scenarios was: all months, groceries only, all descriptions.

You'd have to use a Pivot Table. Then you have all this things in one view.
Select colums A to D. Go to Data/Pivot Table.
Add Month to Rows and Description to Colums (or vise versa) and add Amout to Values.
You'll see a total for all Descriptions/month and Grand total/month and /description.
I've got a multiple tabbed report. On one tab I have the details listed and on another I have a summary table (cross reference) type of aggregation based on the same dimensions utilized in the detail report. I've created a calculated field that takes the product of two measures, I've saved this as a variable. When I try to aggregate that variable on the summary report BOWI is not calculating correctly. Example:
QTY * PRICE = LineTotal
2 * 3 = 6
4 * 3 = 12
TotalOrder = $18
Calculates correctly on the detail report.
When I put this on the aggregate report it is doing the following:
Sum QTY * Sum Price = Total, in other words it is doing
6 * 6 = $36.
My totals on the aggregate are highly inflated. Firstly in what world does that order of precedence make sense? and secondly how can I tell BOWI to sum the TotalOrders instead of breaking it back up into it's components summing those and then multiplying?
Is it a bug?
Further Information
The detail report is Sectioned by Year, Region, State -> Detail lines
The summary report is dimensioned by Year, Region, State
The (QTY * PRICE) component is saved as a variable and utilized in both places.
Am I missing the secret handshake somewhere when calculated fields/variables can't be aggregated and they need to do so in the Universe?
I havent worked with WEBI for a while, I mainly develop DESKI reports, however what you describe sounds similar to the aggregation that occurs in DESKI. If a measure is set to sum aggregation, then it will add all the measures together that relate to the dimension that is added to the report.
For example, if like my details reports, you have the columns order number, qty, price then the aggregation will sum both qty and price at the order level, which is correct. However moving to the summary table then this will cause incorrect data.
To remove the aggregation you can change it from SUM to NONE, I cant recall off the top of my head on how to do this in WEBI (if you cant find out I can check my course materials which are work).
Alternatively, it is best to ensure the dimensions on your summary report are suitable for the data presented.
If you need any further information please let me know.
