wrong returned data when combining tables in a measure

 

So please have a look at the printscreen of partial table. I made this table to check the data, and ofcourse it shows that my budget amount isnt correct. 

I have 1 table with dim_purchase_actions (not unique numbers...), but my purchase action # in print comes from my purchase order table (as otherwise it shows error in data).

So the first 4 colums all come from my fact purchase order detail table. The last colum comes from my fact budget detail table. 

 

What i need is per project (not necessarily per purchase action/order):
purchase budget amount -/- purchase order amount -/- risk reservation amount = purchase order result

 

i made a key in 3 tables being project # + purchase action #, making this unique values. Using this key, doesn't return correct data. 
But whichever formula i try (sumx, or calculate with filter etc), i cant get the right purchase order result.

 

Where am i forgetting something or doing stuff wrong? Its getting so frustating not being able to do simple stuff like this. 

I made another measure filtering budget, resulting in measure "budget op inkoopactie". 

 

So if you deduct 28.345+789 from 28.145 you have the correct result. But i cant get it in a measure that shows that amount...

 

My purchase order result formula now looks like this:

purchase order result =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(fact_purchaseorderdetail[amount]) + SUM(fact_purchaseorderdetail[risk reservation])  - [Budget op inkoopactie],
   FILTER(fact_purchaseorderheader, fact_purchaseorderheader[Order status] = "approved"))
 
and this returns 24m result where it should be -/-988k
 
if some stuff aint clear, let me know. Thanks for the help in advance!

    Hi,bvdm1980 

    Here are our solutions based on our understanding of your needs:
    1.First I have created the following table and the column names and data are the data you have given:

    2.I created the following table link:

    3. Below are the measure I've created for your needs:

    urchase order result = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(budget[Budget amount])-SUM('detail'[Purchase order line amount]) - MAX('detail'[Risk reservation]),
   FILTER('order', 'order'[stauts] = "approved"))

    4.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

     

    5.If the above options don't work, you can use the Allselected() function or the All() function in the FILTER() function:

    FILTER(ALLSELECTED('order'), 'order'[stauts] = "approved"))
    FILTER(ALL ('order'), 'order'[stauts] = "approved"))

    The following is the relevant documentation:

    ALLSELECTED function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

    ALL function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
    Or check if your table relationships are affecting your results, and the meassure you are quoting.

    Can you share sample data and sample output in tabular format if I am misunderstanding? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.
    Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

    Best Regards,
