Cant Get the total from a measure

Hi, i´m doing a work hours report, for that calculation i need to use for each month a number of available hours

deppending of the month that is not in our system ( I have directly connected the report to our ERP) so i decided to create a measure for each month this Way:

"Available Hours January = 168 - [No Presence]"

"Horas Disponibles Enero = (168 - [NO PRESENCIA])"

So with this i get the Available hours from each employee for this month , but  the total i get is not the total of all the employees selected, idividually is right, but the total is not.

I have the same problem with other calculation in the same table

To the result of this operation i have to substract Non Billed Hours ammount and Hours in Job Orders

I Get valid values for each employee, but the total get a number that is not the Summa of all of them.

 

"No Signed Hours January = [Available Hours January]- [No Billed Hours]-[Job Orders Hours]"
"Horas No fichadas Enero = [Horas Disponibles Enero]- [HORAS NO FACTURADAS]-[HORAS EN OTs]"

SUMX combined with SUMMARIZE usually solves those kinds of problems.

 

SUMX(SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Table'[Técnico], "Hours", 168 - [NO PRESENCIA]), [Hours])

 

It will calculate the availiable hours by group (in this case by "Técnico") and the sum the result.

Great to hear it worked 🙂 The same pattern should be usable for the other columns as well.
