Hi Team,
Just wanted to understand how calculated columns works ?
For Ex:
I've written below two calculated columns in a table and these two calculated columns retuns the same result.
Here is the link for PBIX file :https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au-aOkl1BoHugy-wjBKaEu957lDE?e=Pj8tbS
Calculated Columns :
Sales_Column = SUM(Sheet1[Sales])
Sumx_col = SUMX(Sheet1,Sheet1[Sales])
Here i didn't understand about the sumx_col : Sumx should calculate row by row but it will give us the total value like sum and attached below snap
Snap for result
Thanks In Advance
@Tarak_G , In the case of a column, a complete table is considered. So you will get the grand total.
They will differ in measure
