Summing a column

Hello,

 

I have a table with static values.

When I try to SUM these values, my values change (below):

Is there a way I can get the total of all the values?

 

Thanks!

Hi @amandabus21 ,

 

Based on your description, I created the MEASUREMENT and put it into the table visual object, which shows the correct results.

_sum_quantity =
SUM('Table'[Quantity])

You're getting unexpected results, probably because some of the calculations are causing grouping calculations for the same values in the QUANTITY column. Alternatively, the table has a built-in aggregation function that you can use to sum directly.

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
