wrong sum of expense when selecting multiple date

Anonymous — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 13:24:35 GMT

Hello everyone,

PBIX file : https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag9tIyk2ofNRjlBFygNBL3s9VG2N?e=qoIeBc
Excel file: https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ag9tIyk2ofNRjk9-uND6F2ZLZgaZ?e=oAWQzt

I have revenue table which includes service name and all, and expense table which include service expense

to calculate percentage, i need to do servicerevnue / total_revenue
then service expense is calculated_percentage * total-service_expense

when i select for example october 4:

and when i select october 5:

and when i select both:

as you see, lets take service A:

on october 4, expense is 163.58 and gross is 1,041.42

on october 5, expense is 32.63 and gross is 376.47
so if i select october 4 and october 5 together:
i should get for expense = 196.21 and gross = 1417.99

but as photo above states, i got the numbers wrong

please help

Please refer to attached sample file with the solution

Taxes = SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Expense_Table[Total] ) * MAX ( New_Tax_Rate_Table[Percentage] ) ) )

Sure. However, it is the same approach; you need to iterate over the the selected dates one by one, perform the calculation for each date then sum the individual results for all the selected dates.
what is the formula for Expanses?

tamerj1 it is included in the powerbi file but this is the formula

ServicerevenueA = CALCULATE(SUM(revenue_table[total]),revenu_table[service]= "Service A")

Total revenue = SUM(revenue_table[total])

PercentageA = [servicerevenueA]/[total revenue]

Service expense = CALCULATE(SUM(expense_table[total]),expense_table[eligible for service revenue] = "true")

ExpenseA = [PercentageA] * [serviceexpense]

Perhaps it has a different filter context. Maybe you can share more details to assist you further.
