Concatenated Sum Not Adding Up

Hi everybody!

 

I have this table:

I am trying to concatenate the "Carrier" + "Rail Car Count Sum" column and name the new column as "Legend : Total".
When I did this, it is showing me additional totals (kindly refer to below table):


I'm expecting this output below:


I'm unsure why it suddenly shows those additional rows. How can I modify the table similiar to my expected output?

I have uploaded the pbix file (here) so you can see the tables and DAX formula I am using.

Appreciate your kind assistance.

Best regards,
Mark V

    Hi , markefrody 

    Thanks for your smaple .pbix file , for your need , i think the best way is to create a measure like this:

    Measure 2 = var _text1  =CONCATENATE( MAX('v_RailCarCountDaily'[Carrier]) , ":" )
return
CONCATENATE(_text1,[Rail Car Count Sum])

     

    Then we can meet your need:

      Hiļ¼Œ markefrody 

      I'm sorry , i may use the wrong table name , you can use "v_RailCarCountDaily Combined".

      Measure 2 = var _text1  =CONCATENATE( MAX('v_RailCarCountDaily Combined'[Carrier]) , ":" )
return
CONCATENATE(_text1,[Rail Car Count Sum])
