Column Subtotals Not Calculating Correctly

Hi!

 

I know this is a popular topic but I can't find the solution anywhere. I have two data tables that are directly unrelated (1 for sales and 1 for expenses). They connected indirectly, however. Both to the date table on their dates and to a Market Table by store number.

 

I want to only include sales if there is a value in the expense for each day and market.

 

My formula is as follows:

 

ROI Catering Sales = 

IF(
    SUM('New Table'[Daily Total Pay])<=0
    ,BLANK()
    ,SUM('Daily Reporting'[OM Catering Net Sales])
)

 

When I bring this to a matrix it seems to be summing correctly for the months, but the totals aren't summing correctly It is summing the total sales for the full year.

 

I've tried a series of SUMX combinations but haven't had any luck...I don't think I can do it without the values both being in thge same table?

 

Here is a picture of the visual.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! : )

@jordancole0517 I assume you have read these (below). I don't see why having two different tables would make a difference but would need sample data to test and see what is going on.

 

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
