sum of two measure showing incorrect value

baronraghu_3011 — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 11:28:06 GMT

Hi All

I have two tables

Table 1 with Stock names and the quantity purchased

Table 2 with Last 1 year Historic prices of each stock

I have a two measure

1. Measure 1 - total quantity which is the sum of all the quantites of the stock

2. Measure 2 - Last Traded Price = This gives the Last trade price of each stock on the last traded date say 13th Jan 2023

I want to calculate the portfolio value on the Last Traded Date which should be simply the the sumproduct of quantity i have (measure 1) and the Last traded price (measure 2) for each stock

Thanks in Advance

baronraghu_3011 Hard to say with the information provided but, perhaps this is the classic measure totals problem?

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

HI,

table 1 has two columns

Column 1 - stock name

Column 2 - quantity

Measure 1 - Sum( Table1[quantity])

Table 2 has tow columns

Column 1 - Stock Name

Colume 2 - Date

Column 3 - Daily Stock Price

I craeted a two refernce Measure for the

1. Last Trading Date = Today()-2

2. Stock Price = Sum (Table 2[Stock Price])

Measure 2 - Last Trading Price = calculate (Stock Price, Filter( Date, Date[Date]= Last Trading Date))

For calculating my total Portfolio Value = Measure 1 ( Total Quantity)* Measure 2 ( Last Trading Price) .

This I understand maynot give correct value as the quantity is multiplied with all the stock prices. So i believe it must be sum product. But hoe to apply has been my concern.

Hi,

Thanks for those links. I understand a bit that using Hasonefilter along with SUMX might turnaround the table the way I want to look but finding it hard to implement. I have shared snap of my table below for your refernce. The red circle is my issue which doesnt add up.

I think youcan try a sumx measure

Sumx(values(table[date]),measure1 * measure 2)

Oh i didnt see your latest reply of thr table please try

Correct values = if(hasonevalue(table[stockname]),[portfolio measure],sumx(values(table[stockname]),[portfolio measure]))
