Array does not sum data correctly

Hello

I have a matrix to present some data. The array has several levels, the problem is that when I start expanding the levels, the values don't add up and don't match the total, I attach a screenshot as a reference

For example here, Arkansas shows 12, if I expand to the next level AR-Rogers shows 12 as well, but then if I expand to the last level where it shows by "role" it adds up to 11 and not the 12. I've already checked the filters, segmentations and everything seems fine, it's only the sum that isn't right, and if I was filtering something the sum should be updated right?

Thank you for your help

Hi @Syndicate_Admin,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

I have reproduced your issue in Power BI Desktop and implemented the required logic to handle the (Blank) roles by replacing them with "Unassigned".

What I did:

  • Created a new calculated column using the following DAX:
RoleFixed = IF(

    ISBLANK('EnrollmentData'[Role]),

    "Unassigned",

    'EnrollmentData'[Role]

)
  • Used the new RoleFixed column in the Matrix visual, and it correctly displays "Unassigned" instead of blank for roles.
  • Verified the total enrolled counts match the original data.

Expected output:

This meets the expected outcome based on your requirement.

For your reference, I’ve attached the working .pbix file.

Hello @Syndicate_Admin 

Try this measure

AdjustedCount =

IF(

    HASONEVALUE('Roles'[RoleName]),

    COUNT('Table'[UserID]),  -- detail level

    SUMX(

        VALUES('Roles'[RoleName]),

        CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[UserID]))

    )

)

Thanks,
