I have two tables AP Payment 1 and Discoverer Payables.

In Discoverer Payables- (1)
I need to Group by Default Effective Date,[Concatenate Seg1,Vendor No,Cheque No] take the Sum of '[Net Amount]

In AP Payment 1 - (2)
I need to Group by [Concatenate Seg1,Vendor No,Cheque No] take the Sum of '[Amount]

Then Find the Difference between both (1) and (2), and create a flag

The flag formula as below: (correct me if wrong)

Flag_AP1 =

VAR DiscovererAmount =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( ‘Discoverer-Payables’[Net Amount] ),
FILTER ( ‘Discoverer-Payables’, ‘Discoverer-Payables’[Default Effective Date] &&‘Discoverer-Payables’[Concatenate Seg1,Vendor No,Cheque No])
)

VAR APAmount =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( ‘AP Payment 1’[Amount] ),
FILTER (
‘AP Payment 1’ ,
‘AP Payment 1’[Concatenated Seg1,Vendor No,Cheque No]
)
)
VAR Difference_AP1 = ROUND ( DiscovererAmount - APAmount, 0 )

RETURN
IF (
‘Discoverer-Payables’[Difference_AP1] = 0,
“Matched”,
IF (
AND (
OR (
DiscovererAmount = BLANK (),
ROUND ( DiscovererAmount, 0 ) = 0
),
‘Discoverer-Payables’[Difference_AP1] <> 0
),
“Ignore”,
IF (
AND (
APAmount = 0,
ROUND ( DiscovererAmount, 0 ) <> 0
),
“Void/Unmatched”,
“Unmatched”
)
)
)

I am creating 4 flag values : Matched,Ignore,Void/Unmatched,Unmatched.

Now I need to find all the records in AP Payment 1 which has flag = “Matched”

I am trying to use FILTER(AP Payment 1, Flag_AP1 =“Matched”

But there is some problem when using measure as condition in filter.

Hi Anu,

Please provide a sample PBIX with some dummy data
and also show how you want to use or visualize these “Matched” records - thanks

I am doing a data consolidation basically, Corresponding to the “matched” lines of AP Payment 1 , i need to lookup some values from another table. I dont need visualization

6

I have attached sample pbix where im doing the above said calculations using calculted table.
But if possible let me know how to use measures to do the same

Hi @Anu

Based on your description and Sample file, it seems you are looking to filter the consolidated table itself which is not possible using a Measures. For this you need to create a calculated column only.

If you are looking to filter any visualisation then we can make use of a measure.
