Hello! I have a situation where I am using Calc(sum()) to sum filtered data and then subtract 40 from the result. The table has correct individual results, but is not rolling the sub total correctly.
Equation:
Sub Total | (170-40)=130 |
Name 1 | (60-40)=20 |
Name 2 | (110-40)=70 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
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

When placed in a large data set, the summarize method becomes a hefty task for BI and requires a long time for calculations to finish.
I have attempted to move the Summarize portion out into a calculated field and maintain the Sumx() part with no luck. The calculations returns accurately, but the subtotals sum the whole Table (Counttble) and do not filter. Is it possible to do this split of equation to help performance?

The BI you provided gave ample direction for my solution! It took some tweaking, but was able to configure once the understanding was established.
