table doesnt sum correctly

hi, I have a quick question. I have one table with the average measure for different components. I add 50 if the value is blank. 

However the total doesnt sum it correctly. Could anyone please advice why 50 is not included? I would really apprecaite any help

    Hi  munchkin666
    Total in power bi doesn't summarize the visible values automatically.
    You need to fix it "manually".Please refer to the linked tutorials :

    I answered a few days ago to question  with a similar scenario including a sample pbix You can take a look here:

    Hi munchkin666 
    Your scenario is much more complex than regular total problems because you want to include values of groups that don't in the filtered period.
    You will need 2 measures :
    1. Kind of prepartion

     

    TotalValue2022 =
    VAR GroupsIn2022 = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('table', YEAR('table'[Date]) = 2022), 'table'[Group])
    VAR AllGroups = VALUES('table'[Group])
    VAR GroupsNotIn2022 = EXCEPT(AllGroups, GroupsIn2022)
    VAR ResultTable =
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            AllGroups,
            "Value2022",
            IF(
                COUNTROWS(FILTER(GroupsIn2022, 'table'[Group] = [Group])) > 0,
                IF([Group] = "Other", 50, SUMX(FILTER('table', 'table'[Group] = [Group] && YEAR('table'[Date]) = 2022), 'table'[Value])/12),
                50
            )
        )
    RETURN
    SUMX(ResultTable, [Value2022])
    2. To put on the table :
    TotalValueByGroup = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('table', 'table'[Group], "TotalValue", [TotalValue2022]), [TotalValue])

    Don't ask how I did it; I'm not sure that I can explain, and luck did its work here too. 🙂

    Pbix is attached
