Unique - Complex DAX Challenge for Matrix Visual Specific for Columns & Total

This one has got me perplexed.

How do you create the DAX Measure Value for a matrix that does the following for the Totals?

  • Does the normal Summing for the columns
  • Does a special calculation for the Total column

Example Table Would Be

  • DAX Total column formula is (Current + Mid-Tier) - Legacy

 

PersonLegacyMid-TierCurrentDAX Total
A604-2
B4130
C6352
TOTAL12  (Sum Total)4  (Sum Total)12  (Sum Total)4  (Calc Total (C+M)-L

    Hi ScottBrown ,

     

    Please try the following formula:

     

    Measure = 
var _sum = SUM ( 'Table'[Value] )
return 
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( 'Table'[Category] ),
        _sum,
        _sum - 2 * CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), 'Table'[Category] = "Legacy" )
    )

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    ScottBrown , if these are value of column say Tier and you column of value is value

     

    new measure =

    if((isinscope([Tier])), sum(Table[Value]) ,
    Switch(true(),
    max(Table[Tier]) = "Legacy" , -1 * sum(Table[Value]) ,
    sum(Table[Value]) ) )

     

    If they are measure 

     

    then new measure

    ([Current] + [Mid-Tier]) - [Legacy]
