    Anonymous Looks like you have a single table involved in your calculation. CALCULATE is not really good with dealing with just single tables. I would advise a No CALCULATE approach:

    2018 Employees =
  VAR __2018LastModifiedDate = [2018 Last Modified Date]
  VAR __LatestDate2018 = [Latest Date 2018]
  VAR __Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('SQL'),'SQL'[attributes.lastModifiedDate] = __2018LastModifiedDate  && 'SQL'[attributes.periodEnd] = __LatestDate2018 ))
  VAR __Return = SUMX(__Table, [attributes.value])
RETURN
  __Return

Hey Greg_Deckler ,

Please see the below images:

3 + 1 + 242 + 115 + 331 + 1 + 17 + 1 + 1 + 348 + 101 = 1,161

 

P.S. - 1,161 is the correct total I am expecting to see, but it isn't summing it at the asset row.

Instead it is showing the below photo:
