DAX Code re-running sub total rather than summing

we have a dax code that runs to calculate revenue variance when we look at the sub total 

the dax code is re running the equation rather than summing the values with in that catagory

 

 CY_QTYPY_QTY CY_REV  PY_REV  CYavgREV  PYavgREV  REV-var 
SuB Total A+B+C150425 £          65,000 £        180,000 £        433 £           424 £        1,471
Product A100350 £          25,000 £          75,000 £        250 £           214 £        3,571
Product B050 £                   -   £          60,000 £            -   £        1,200 £               -  
Product C5025 £          40,000 £          45,000 £        800 £        1,800-£     50,000

CY_Qty PY_Qty and CY_REV and PY_REV are calulated from summarised data table.

CY_avgRev and PY_avgREV are measures that calculate Rev/Qty

REV Var is a measure of sumx (( CY_avgREV - PY_avgREV) * CY_Qty)

 

We have looked through other forums and couldn't find other people with a similar issue and we have looked through the settings for sub totals and none of the changes work!

 

Thanks

Hi @Gareth_Hunt ,

 

Please use SUMX function to have a try.

Measure = SUMX(your_table,the_measure_need_to_be_summed)

It is no clear what you want to do. And your last measure is not a valid one.
