    Hi , marcofalzone 

    Thanks for your provided sample .pbix file .

    According to your description, the total is wrong because it not get the summation of the columns.

    You can try to use this measure :

    Act_Eur_Ytd Test = 
var _t =ADDCOLUMNS( CROSSJOIN(VALUES('Company'[CompanyString]), VALUES('PL_Mapping'[PLRowDescr])) , "Act_Eur_Ytd" , [Act_Eur_Ytd])
return
SUMX(_t ,[Act_Eur_Ytd])

    Then we can get the right total:

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,

    Aniya Zhang
