Hello,
I have a query on a measure that I wrote.
I'm trying to create a measure that adds up numbers from 2 fields from 2 different tables.
The fields are called '9LE' from the Module Sales with Inventory Table and '9LE' from the Warehouse Data Tasman Table.
I wrote the measure and no error came up but when I pull the measure in, the result is off by a very small number as per my screenshot. The third number doesn't add up to the first 2 numbers combined.
Can anybody see any issues with my measure?
Many Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't see an issue but check the rounding on both sums. Or change it to BC& Tas 9LE = SUM( 'Module Sales with Inventory'[9le]) + SUM('Warehouse Data Tasman'[9LE])

Ah yes apologies, it seems it was a rounding issue.
All sorted now thank you,
Thanks for your response!
Also, do as @ray_aramburo suggested. I dont see a need to use SUMX when you're simply summing the whole column.
Perfect thank you. Will do.
