Subtotal Problem

[Dazzlerdb]

Hi, 

I have this great measure for calculating the number of hours per week based on a date range (which works really well and was lovingly helped by you guys)

However, subtotalling doesnt work so there must be something in DAX formula to adjust and I cant figure it out. I am very wary of adjusting this formula as it was a nightmare to write!! As you can see the subtotal should be 102.88hrs, but is showing as 68.59hrs. perhaps I need another measure to subtotal this measure?

Any help gratefully received 🙂

Hi @Dazzlerdb ,

Base on your description, it seems like you got the incorrect total values in your matrix visual. You can create another new measure as below to replace the original measure [WeekHrs], put the fields in below screenshot in groupby part:

Measure =
SUMX (
    GROUPBY (
        'RPPlan',
        'RPPlan'[Project],
        'RPPlan'[field2],
        'RPPlan'[field3],
        'RPPlan'[field4],
        'RPPlan'[field5],
        'RPPlan'[field6],
        'RPPlan'[StartDate],
        'RPPlan'[EndDate],
        'RPPlan'[Hrs Per Day],
        'RPPlan'[xxhours]
    ),
    [WeekHrs]
)

If the above ones can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

define "doesn't work".  Are you trying to subtotal by rep? If so then that field need to be included in the SUMMARIZECOLUMNS.
