SUMX not totaling correctly! PLEASE HELP

HELP!

 

My Measure = 

= SUMX(
    VALUES(Dates[Month]),  
    IF(
        NOT(ISBLANK([Total Hours Worked])),  
        DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Logics[BBS]),
        0
    )
)

It works by month but the total is still wrong. I need the total to only show 32.

 

  • Hi HALEYSTODDARD ,

    You need to change your DAX so that the total row is calculated correctly. This usually involves detecting if the context is at the total level and then using a different calculation.

    My Measure =
    IF(
    HASONEVALUE(Dates[Month]),
    IF(
    NOT(ISBLANK([Total Hours Worked])),
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Logics[BBS]),
    0
    ),
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Logics[BBS])
    )

  • Hi,

    I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but please try something like below whether it works.

     

    My Measure =
    SUMX (
        VALUES ( Dates[Month] ),
        CALCULATE (
            IF (
                NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Total Hours Worked] ) ),
                DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK ( Logics[BBS] ),
                0
            )
        )
    )

    Hi HALEYSTODDARD ,

    You can create a new measure as below based on the existing [BBS Rate], then put this new measure onto the visual to replace the measure [BS Rate]:

    BBS Rate =
    IF (
        NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Total Hours Worked] ) ),
        DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK ( Logics[BBS] ),
        0
    )
    
    New measure = SUMX ( VALUES ( Dates[Month] ), [BBS Rate] )
    

    In addition, you can refer the following links to try to solve your problem...

  • Hello HALEYSTODDARD ,

     

    You need to modify your dax a bit to solve this issue :

     

    My Measure =
    SUMX(
    VALUES(Dates[Month]),
    VAR _HoursWorked = [Total Hours Worked]
    RETURN
    IF(
    NOT(ISBLANK(_HoursWorked)),
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Logics[BBS]),
    0
    )
    )

     

     

     

    Alternatively you can try forcing explicit aggregation if above is not working :

     

    My Measure =
    SUMX(
    SUMMARIZE(
    Dates,
    Dates[Month],
    "@DistinctCount", DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Logics[BBS])
    ),
    [@DistinctCount]
    )

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Did I answer your query ? Mark this as solution if this helps, Kudos are appreciated.

     

     

    Warm Regards,

    Neeraj
