Wrong totals, different than export

I actuall was told by our developer that the problem had to do with summarizing LOV values. We made this change, and the problem resolved itself.

Hello, I apologize for the delay. What solved it for us was a simple rounding - surrounding the formula calculating all the numbers with the round formula, to two decimal points.) This allowed all the sums to add up correctly.
Hi Unicorn_Tech,
Power BI pivot table are slighty diffenrent in terms of context than the excel so if you are calculating averages, distintct counts or using measures in your pivot the calculations are made on the aggregated level and not on the line level.
For example I supposed that in the count of name you are using a distinctcount and not a simple count correct? When you do this the total line will make the distinct count on all the levels and not the sum of de different year:
Example: Result:
2013 - A 2013 - 1
2013 - A 2014 - 2
2014 - A 2015 - 1
2014 - B Total - 2
2015 - A
What the calculations is making is the distinct count of the names A/B and in total there are only two distinct names.
Check if your total values have some issues of context within your table.
