Explain measure

Hi,

I was tasked with migrating our old Qliksense reports to Power BI and having trouble understanding what some of the measures are doing.

Can somebody explain what does this do?

Sum({<[Reject Name]=,[Reject Type]= >}TOTAL<[Item category],[Item Model],,Year,Month,Week,Date,[Year-Month],[Year-week],[Y-M],[Operator ID],[Warehouse Code]>Qty)

Some of the fields are from the same table where 'Qty' resides, some are from others.

To me, this looks like an overcomplicated 'Sum(Qty)'

Hi It means that you will get the total qty at the level of the defined dimensions i.e. [Item category],[Item Model],Year,Month,Week,Date,[Year-Month],[Year-week],[Y-M],[Operator ID],[Warehouse Code] ignoring the selections done in the [Reject Name],[Reject Type] fields.

Hi Thanks for the explanation.

 

I guess the next question would be, what "defined dimensions" mean in Qlik? I can see the dimensions on the report, but they have no filters or anything that can be changed.
