I've found a few posts on here loosly related but none really seem to apply to my model so here we go:
I've got Two Tables. Let's call them Transactions and Prices. Their architecture is as follows
----------TRANSACTIONS----------
ID# | EntryDate | TYPE
A43 | 8/14/2021 | New Business
A44 | 6/14/2021 | Repeat Business
A45 | 7/01/2021 | Repeat Business
A24 | 5/21/2021 | New Business
--------------------PRICES--------------------
ID# | TRANSACTION-ID# | PRICE
B4153135 | A43 | 100
B4153133 | A44 | 500
B4153187 | A45 | 200
B4153145 | A24 | 100
The common link is Transaction[ID#] to Prices[Transaction-ID#]
No fields are measures and the are coming directly from an SQL database if that matters
I have a visualization that shows the values Transaction[ID#] and Prices[Price] which correctly displays in this fashion.
ID# | Price
A43 | 100
A44 | 500
A45 | 200
A24 | 100
Total 900
The problem is that when I apply any filter (I'm tyring to Filter Transactions[Type] and Transactions[EntryDate]), the rows are properly filtered however the total continues to show 900 as opposed to the filtered total.
Any help woud be great!

Hi, @millercj ;
According to your description, I tested it. First of all, I confirmed that the two tables are in Directquery mode. Secondly, if the two tables are not related, it will not work. There must be a relationship. The filtering direction is best to be bidirectional, as follows:
The final output is shown below:
If it still does not solve your problem, can you share more scenes or information about your table?

Hi,
Create a third table with a single column which lists down all unique ID's from both tables. Create a relationship between from the ID column of both tables to the newly created third table. To your visual, drag ID from the third table. Write this measures:
Measure = sum(Prices[Price])
Hope this helps.
@millercj I am not able to replicate the behavior. See attached PBIX file below signature.
Looks like chaning "Cross Filter" to "Both" is what made the difference
