TOTAL CALCULATION IS WRONG

I have one table that consist of  these columns

receptionNo        tableType      Price 

     1023                cash              100

     1022                ny                  210

    1020                cash              500

   1019                 ny                 50

   1018                 cash             70

==========================

i have this table  i want to have total  price just for rows that  the column tabletype is "Cash"  and it should be 670

but it show the wrong number

Hi @a-tlantis ,

Based on the description, try using the following DAX formula to create a new measure.

 

 

TotalCashPrice = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Price]), 'Table'[Type] = "cash")

Drag the measure to the card visual.
