Need help with DAX formula so that grand total will add up

I have the formula below for Interim Target and the grand total doesn't add up.  I have done a bit of digging and I tried simply chaning the SUMs to SUMX but I get a 'too few arguments' message.

 

In english the equation is

Any help greatly appreciated

 

Interim target =
ROUNDUP(
DIVIDE(
    (SUM('GS_OE_Target_Data'[Target_Participants]) * (140 - SUM('CRM Data'[selling_days]))),
    140
),0)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I think you can try this code to create a measure.

Interim target =
VAR _SUMMARIZE =
    SUMMARIZE (
        GS_OE_Target_Data,
        'CRM Data'[Code],
        "Interim target",
            ROUNDUP (
                DIVIDE (
                    (
                        SUM ( 'GS_OE_Target_Data'[Target_Participants] )
                            * ( 140 - SUM ( 'CRM Data'[selling_days] ) )
                    ),
                    140
                ),
                0
            )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( _SUMMARIZE, [Interim target] )

Result is as below.
