Amount duplicated after appending query

Dears,

I'm facing an issue that I appended 7 tables but when I check the data I found that amount duplicated without any reason although source file amounts aren't duplicated

 

Thanks

Hii @hanyfouda2023 ,

 

You might have appened the same table several times. I'd usually add a custom column named Source which value is anything that describes the sourc to each table that I append so I'd know where my numbers are coming from. This practice makes it easy to troubleshoot for errors.

Dear Danextian,

Thanks for your reply , Could you please explain how to get this custom column , what is the dax measue to be added?

Thanks

Hi @hanyfouda2023 ,

 

It is a custom column in the query editor. In Add Column tab, go to custom column and create a Source column that indicates the source of your data. Do this for all the seven tables. Make sure to use the same column name for all of them.

Dear Danexitan,

Thanks I added the columns , and found which amount arent right. Do you have any idea how to solve it

 

Ì am not sure. Questions are:

Why are the amounts not right?

Did you append the several times?

What makes them being duplicated?
