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.

     

    Best Regards,

    Clara Gong
