Incorrect Total

Hi, I am dealing with the common problem of not having my totals add up correctly and I am unsure how to amend it.

Please see the measure below where I am trying to find the number of outstanding days.

 

Outstanding Days =
IFERROR(
(COUNT(DIM_Calendar[Days in Month])/('Measures Table'[Actual_Sales]/'Measures Table'[Average AR])),
BLANK()
)+0
 
Would appreciate if any help is given! 🙂
 
Thank you.

Hi,

I think you want to wrap that measure in a SUMX iterating over the sales reps.

 

eg

SUMX(

 VALUES(Table[Sales Reps]),

Your Measure

)

 

on rows where there is only one sales rep it returns the existing value. On the total row it adds up each in turn.
