Measure using DATESBETWEEN wrong total but correct row value

IM_TRYING_HERE — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 18:06:57 GMT

I am having an issue where the rows in my table visual are showing correct values but the total row is wrong. I assume its related to context transition but I'm not sure. Here is a basic version of my measure along with a screenshot of a basic example of tables and desired result. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks

MeasureName =

VAR stdt =

IF (

SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate] )

<= SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[PurchaseDate] ),

SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate]),

SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate])

)

VAR endt =

IF (

SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[SellDate]) = BLANK (),

SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[Date] ),

SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[SellDate])

)

RETURN

SUMX (

SUMMARIZE (

PropertyInfoTable,

PropertyInfoTable[Name]

CALCULATE (

SUM ( ActualCostsTable[Amount] ),

DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date], stdt, endt )

)

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 IM_TRYING_HERE

You can try below measure:

MeasureName = SUMX(VALUES(PropertyInfoTable[Name]),CALCULATE( VAR stdt = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate] ) <= SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[PurchaseDate] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate]), SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[YearStartDate]) ) VAR endt = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[SellDate]) = BLANK (), SELECTEDVALUE ( DateTable[Date] ), SELECTEDVALUE ( PropertyInfoTable[SellDate]) ) RETURN SUMX ( SUMMARIZE ( PropertyInfoTable, PropertyInfoTable[Name] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( ActualCostsTable[Amount] ), DATESBETWEEN ( DateTable[Date], stdt, endt ) ) ) ) )

Did I answer your question? If yes, pls mark my post as a solution and appreciate your Kudos !

Thank you~

I was able to create a measure containing the initial start date and end date variables/parameter in an measure called "TotalActualCostsTableAmount" and then put it inside the following measure .
SUMX (
SUMMARIZE (
PropertyInfoTable,
PropertyInfoTable[Name]
),
CALCULATE (
[TotalActualCostsTableAmt],
DATESYTD ( 'DateTable'[Date] )
)
)

My question is, are there any other more efficient ways of writing this measure that doesn't require SUMX(Summarize. I'm still confused as to why if don't wrap in a SUMX(Summarize and I select a single property the row and total are correct but if I select two or more properties the total get the date logic wrong.
