Calculating sum-total of measure

 

Hello - I created tis kind of complicated measure to calculate "the Amout to meet goal" - 

AmtToMeetGoal = IF(HASONEFILTER('Sub List'[ContractNumber]),IF((Sumx(DISTINCT('Sub List'[ContractNumber]),(Maxx(Distinct('Sub List'[ContractNumber]),Max('Sub List'[GoalDollars])))))>[AmountB4SlicerPeriod], ((Sumx(DISTINCT('Sub List'[ContractNumber]),(Maxx(Distinct('Sub List'[ContractNumber]),Max('Sub List'[GoalDollars])))))-[AmountB4SlicerPeriod]),0))
 
But for some reason the total of this measure doesn't show up and when I tried to create multiple measures and combined them to one at the end - I get the wrong total, even though that the list of Amounts that are showing on table is correct. If I export data to excel and sum it up the amounts, I'll get the right number. But for some in Power BI, the total either wrong or it's not showing up.

Could you please help me solve this problem, if it's possible - Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous

How about this measure:

AmtToMeetGoal =
VAR sum1 =
    IF (
        (
            SUMX (
                DISTINCT ( 'Sub List'[ContractNumber] ),
                (
                    MAXX (
                        DISTINCT ( 'Sub List'[ContractNumber] ),
                        MAX ( 'Sub List'[GoalDollars] )
                    )
                )
            )
        )
            > [AmountB4SlicerPeriod],
        (
            (
                SUMX (
                    DISTINCT ( 'Sub List'[ContractNumber] ),
                    (
                        MAXX (
                            DISTINCT ( 'Sub List'[ContractNumber] ),
                            MAX ( 'Sub List'[GoalDollars] )
                        )
                    )
                )
            )
                - [AmountB4SlicerPeriod]
        ),
        0
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Sub List'[ContractNumber] ),
        Sum1,
        SUMX ( 'Sub List', sum1 )
    )

Best Regards

It works but it gives me the wrong total :(. The amount that listed on column is correct but for some reason when it comes to total, it just doesn't sums it up right.
