Totals are not working properly

Sidhu — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 17:39:56 GMT

I have the data in the below format, I am trying to get the difference between the best and hours while neglecting the negatives in total. So the diff column in the visual should show 8.64 instead of 6.56. I have tried Inscope and it is not working, am i missing something here?

Here is the link for the file.

Sidhu First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

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

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Hi Greg_Deckler ,

Thanks for quick response, I have tried the methods which you mentioned. It is not working properly, I tried InScope, HasOneValue & HasOneFilter. I think the way my data is represented might be causing issues. Can you take a look at the file which I added in the earlier post?

Sidhu Sure, I'll give it a once over.

Sidhu Try this:

Diff V3 = VAR __Table = ADDCOLUMNS( ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE( 'Table', [Category A], [Category B], "__Hours", SUM( 'Table'[Hours] ) ), "__BestHours", [Best Hours] ), "__Diff", [__Hours] - [__BestHours] ) VAR __Diff = [Diff V1] VAR __Result = IF( ISINSCOPE( 'Table'[Category A] ), __Diff, SUMX( FILTER( __Table, [__Diff] > 0 ), [__Diff] ) ) RETURN __Result
