Hello! I was hoping I could ask for your help on a query issue I have ran up against. I put this on the forum but thought I would ask any SMEs in Power BI I knew as well.
I have the attached pbix file and a BU TYPE 2 column that I am trying to pull in the area from a different table. Long story short I am trying to get the 2 visuals below to have matching totals across each month. One is for BU Type and the other even though it is titled BU Type 2 it is really AREA. Essentially I need my bottom graph to match the top one except using the EA, FA, Other or blank options.
correct using bu type
incorrect using bu2
I would love to get my BU2 or my BU Type 2 fields to work correctly and match from a total perspective with the top chart. Any help would be amazing. The pbix file is below.

Hi @nmck86,
After I check your sample file, I found your table are made of complex lookup columns to lookup value from other tables and link with one to many relationship.
AFAIK, nested measure not direct calculate on summary value, it will drill to detail records level to calculate and summary these results.
I think your issue is caused with this, when I put amount column to instead, it group and summarize correctly.
