Calculated sum of a Measure returns 0

Hi experts,

 

I have two measures:

X:=CALCULATE([GesamtKassenAuslastung];ALLSELECTED(('Date')))

and 

y:= [x] - [GesamtKassenAuslastung]

 

but in y as a result I am seeing 0, I am expecting that I see the summation. What should I do, that I calculate the summation in the result:

There's nothing strange about this result. Indeed, the result should be 0. That's because in the total row [GesamtKassenAuslastung] is equal to CALCULATE([GesamtKassenAuslastung];ALLSELECTED(('Date'))). What's more, if you add up all the results for y in the rows, you'll get 0 as well. AS SHOULD BE.

@Anonymous Do you have any idea, how can I get my desired result?

What is your desired result? You have not stated. You can't say "summation" because you already have a summation in there and it's correct.

@Fariba1984 ,

Try like

y:=sumx(summarize(Table, Table[year],Table[Month],"_1", [x] - [GesamtKassenAuslastung]),[_1])

@Fariba1984 - 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
