Hi all,
Sorry for yet another 'Incorrect Total' message, but I haven't been able to figure this one out...
Here is my table visual with the incorrect total in the "Realized New Business" column:
The Realized New Business CP column sums dollar amounts in a measure for the Current Period.
The Realized New Business PP column sums dollar amounts in a measure for the Previous Period.
The logic for the Realized New Business column is 'if CP - PP < 0 then 0 otherwise CP - PP'. Here is the actual formula:
Solved! Go to Solution.
@LuukP Try using ALLSELECTED instead of ALL

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
Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Hi Greg - thanks for the feedback - that got me close, but there was nothing on the Total line... I did look at your reference articles earlier and revisited them and did get it to work.
My solution was this:
The measure I was struggling with I kept simple:
Realized New Business =
var _CP = [Realized New Business CP]
var _PP = [Realized New Business PP]
var _rnb = _CP-_PP
RETURN IF(_rnb < 0, 0, _rnb)
Then, I added a new measure:
Total RNB =
IF(HASONEFILTER('tablename'[ID]), [Realized New Business], SUMX(VALUES('tablename'[ID]),[Realized New Business])
I thought I could do it without adding another measure, but at least this did the trick - based on the articles you provided. Thank you!!
hi, @LuukP
try below
Realized New Business =
sumx(
filter(
all('yourtablename'[client no]),
_CP - _PP > 0
)
_CP - _PP
)
Thanks Dangar - unfortunately that didn't work. The _CP and _PP variables are based on measures with filters, so I would need to preserve those filters.
