Yrstruly2021 Several different issues here. Generally use would use something like SUMX(FILTER(...), ...) for SUMIF. See Excel to DAX Translation here: S Excel to DAX Translation - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

For totals, First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

So most of my calculations are wrong so far, leaving me with inflated figures. Cash Flow Imbalance should be 0. Can you check thepbix file if you get 0 after correct calculations has been applied?
