Profit Margin
Hi there,
i am working with summary data and im tyring to calculate Profit Margin which is called "EM" in my data model. The calculation itself is correct but the total is not. I would like it to round to 100%
I do not have any cost data so im simply doing Profit/revenue
Here is a screenshot:

m_Total 3 VAR __table = SUMMARIZE(Sales,[Grade],[Service],[Region],"__Value",[m_Single]) RETURN IF(HASONEVALUE(sales[Region]),[m_Single],SUMX(__table,[__Value]))

Tmatti92 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

firstly i tried this:
m_Single = SUM(Sales[EM])Then secondly this
m_Total 3
VAR __table = SUMMARIZE(Sales,[EM],[m_Single])RETURNIF(HASONEVALUE(sales[em]),[m_Single],SUMX(__table,[em]))Would be great if you could point out my error. As i can imagine it's an easy fix which i am not seeing.Regards,ThomasTmatti92 Try:
m_Total 3 VAR __table = SUMMARIZE(Sales,[Grade],[Service],[Region],"__Value",[m_Single]) RETURN IF(HASONEVALUE(sales[Region]),[m_Single],SUMX(__table,[__Value]))
