MTD value shows last month data because this month there is no data for this type

[Crimma]

Hi all! I have a problem with the MTD calculation. My data exist of stoptime of the machine due three reasons: "Te laat geleverd", "Te laat besteld" and "niet aanwezig". This month the reason "te laat besteld" didn't occured yet. But in the TOTALMTD calculation PBI shows not 0, but shows the value of last month, 1,96. But this 1,96 is not included in the total calculation in the table:

8,67+9,29=17,96. So the 1,96 is ignored. 

So the problem is that PBI shows not a 0, but show the value of last month. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thank you 🙂

Hi @Crimma ,

Please try this measure:

new_MTD stilstand in uur =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Reason],
        "total", [MTD stilstand in uur] 
    ),
    [total]
)

Or

New_MTD stilstand in uur = SUMX(VALUES(Table[Reason]), [MTD stilstand in uur])

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
