Calculated total showing the wrong number in directquery

‎04-26-2017 01:39 AM

Hi, I am trying to calculate the following:

 

Measure

DistinctQuantity = CALCULATE(DISTINCTcount([Id]),[IsActive]="Active")

Measure

TotalPrice= DistinctQuantity*sum(Price)
My data looks like this:
        Price       DistinctQuantity   TotalPrice
A       10          1                  10
B       0           100                0
C       0           899                0
Total   10          1000               10000
 
 
 
I want mu table to show a total of "10" but instead it shows 10000. I want to add a column with the distinctquantity but I am working in DirectQuery so i cannot use the Calculate function to add a calculated column. How can I fix this?

In this scenario, you TotalPrice should be eavaluated on each row level, so you should use SUMX() function.

 

Total Price = SUMX(Table3,Table3[Price]*[Total Quantity])

In general, consider that the total line is really the measure evaluated in the context of ALL. You can add a if HASONEFILTER to your measure to calculate it for rows with the alternative being your calculation for your total row. I may have those reversed. It's early.
