Column Subtotal Not Correct

I have a matrix like this:

Screenshot 2024-11-13 at 9.43.13 PM.png

The measure is Percent of Total Deal GCI Variance where I'm basically taking the percent of total deal GCI this year minus percent of total deal GCI from previous year:

 

Metric % Deal GCI Variance = DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Split Summary' )
    )
)
    - DIVIDE (
        SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI (Previous Year)] ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI (Previous Year)] ),
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Split Summary' )
        )
    )

 


I'm suspecting the row totals are correct but not the column subtotals due to this measure using the ALLSELECTED() formula.  Is there any workaround to this?

Hi, isnt that your expected outcome? Of the deals greater than $2m...there is a variance of -5.57%... resulting from a -0.77% in Cali, -1.31% in Southeast and so on?

 

Doing some SUMIFs in Excel seems to validate the measure results.

To resolve this, you can replace ALLSELECTED() with ALL(). This function removes all filters from the measure context, allowing for correct calculation of subtotals across all dimensions.

Revised Measure:

Metric % Deal GCI Variance =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI] ),
ALL ( 'Split Summary' )
)
)
- DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI (Previous Year)] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Split Summary'[Deal GCI (Previous Year)] ),
ALL ( 'Split Summary' )
)
)

Explanation:

ALL( 'Split Summary' 😞 This removes all filters from the Split Summary table, ensuring that the SUM operations are performed across all rows, regardless of the current filter context.
Subtotals: With this modification, the subtotals will now calculate the percent of total deal GCI variance correctly, considering the entire dataset without the influence of row or column filters.
