Measure not Totaling Correctly

Hi,

 

I have tried a bunch of different ways to fix this and i still cannot get this to total correctly.  I have a measure taking my Transaction Qty divided by Units Per Case to get the Total Cases,however, it is not totaling correctly.

 

I tried the below measure and the quantities are right when i go line by line but the total is still very low compared to when i export the data into excel.

 

Any ideas? Below are some of the measures that i've tried.

 

SUMX(VALUES('Transactions'[Order]),[Total Cases])
 
IF(COUNTROWS(VALUES([Transactions [Order]))=1,[Total Cases],SUMX(VALUES([Transactions [Order]),[Total Cases])
 
IF(HASONEFILTER([Transactions [Order]),[Total Cases],SUMX(VALUES([Transcation[Order]),[Total Cases]))

@Bryanna First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

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

Your approach with a measure like this is correct. Do you have other columns in your visual? If so, you likely need to use SUMMARIZE instead.

 

SUMX(VALUES('Transactions'[Order]),[Total Cases])
