Calculate the total based on different percentage

Hello,

 

I have follwing data:

 

CategoryCalculated YieldVolumesVolume %AlternateVolume %AlternateResult
A981000,30,219,6
B952000,50,766,5
C99500,100
D100200,10,110
Total96,623701196,1

Notice that Alternate result is what I want, but not what PBI calculates.

 

I would like PBI to calculate the yield (coulumn 2), depending on the alternative percentages ( column 5).

The result now I get as AlternativeResult is the same as "total of calculated yield", as I assume PBI multiplies 96.62 by 1.

I would like PBI to calculate the total as: sum( yield by category * % alternative percentage ) 

 

Is it possible to achieve this?

 

Thanks!

Best regards,

 

Wouter Defour

Hi @wouterDefour ,

 

Please find the below image the measures:

Result = SUM('Table (4)'[Calculated Yield]) *SUM('Table (4)'[AlternateVolume %])
 
ResultActual = SUMX(VALUES('Table (4)'[Category]),[Result])



 

I hope this helps!
