Matrix Total Shows the max value, not Total

Hello all,

 

I have a matrix with the mesures. 

But, for "Total Sales", my matrix show we max value, not Total.

 

I use this calculation:

Total Sales = CALCULATE(
SUM('# Capsules'[Value])+SUM('# Newly Registered Consumers'[Value])+SUM('# Orders'[Value])+SUM(Accessories[Value])+CALCULATE(
SUM('Estimated machine park'[Value]),LASTDATE('Estimated machine park'[Date])),
CROSSFILTER('Sales base'[Sales base list],'Categories mapping'[Sales base],Both),
CROSSFILTER('Sales base details'[Sales ],Sales[Sales list],Both),
CROSSFILTER('Categories mapping'[Contact reason],'Pulse Database'[Last contact reason],Both),
CROSSFILTER('Product name mapping'[English Product Description],'# Capsules'[Product],None))
 
Can you help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Vasyl

@UAVASHCHVA 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

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

@Greg_Deckler Yeah, I also think, that it a measure total problem. But, I haven't idea, howe I can change it to make it right

@UAVASHCHVA I don't either with the information provided. You need to summarize the data like you have in the visual and then aggregate over it using an X function like MAXX, SUMX, etc.

 

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
