When trying to display totals following a calculation, i am unable to get column totals to match.
Source file
Goal
Ultimately, i am trying to show
Added to each page / report for cross reference
Tables
I have 3 linked tables - 4th is a table used to summerize for an attempted solution
i have tried the following 3 solution
Attempt 1
Raw invoice by supplier, brings supplier group totals
Attempt 2
Rows match, column totals do not match.
Payment Measure 1 =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount])
*
MIN(Supplier[%])
)
Attempt 3 (cyan)
Rows match, can substitue column total with a 4
Payment Measure 2 =
IF(ISFILTERED(Supplier[Sub-Group-BI]),
SUM('Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount])
*
MIN(Supplier[%]),
4
)
Attempt 3.1 (red)
Rows match, trying to substitue column total with formula returns save values.
Payment Measure 2.1 =
IF(ISFILTERED(Supplier[Sub-Group-BI]),
SUM('Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount])
*
MAX(Supplier[%]),
SUMX('Invoices & Credits', 'Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount] * MIN(Supplier[%])
)
)
Attempt 4
Using summerrize table, correct overall totals i.e. supplier group 1, however whole row has same values
Summerize:
table =
SUMMARIZE (
'Supplier',Supplier[Sub-Group-BI],
Supplier[Supplier-BI],
'Supplier'[%],
"payment", SUM ( 'Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount] ),
"Total", MIN ( 'Supplier'[%]) * SUM ('Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount]
)
)
Measure
Payment Measure 3 = CALCULATE
(SUM('table'
[total]
)
)

Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous that's different, in your example tht was not the case, although what % will be used in case of many to many cardinality? Minimum or Maximum?? or you have to have parent supplier in your Invoice and credits table

hi @parry2k
Yes this covers it now, apoligies for my naivety with the many to many cardinality. Your solution covers it perfectly
Parv Payment 1 = SUMX ( VALUES ( Supplier ),
calculate(
sum('Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount])*
min('Supplier'[%])
)
)
@Anonymous may be the simple would be to add new column with Payment Amount With % and that use that in the matrix for sum
Payment Amount with % = 'Invoices & Credits'[Payment Amount] * RELATED( Supplier[%] )

hi @parry2k
Wow 👏
That is exactly what i was looking for, i could then mirror those values in various graphics.
How did you do that?
@Anonymous file is attached, and added one column and one measure, starts with Parv
It is exactly what I suggested originally.

Hi @parry2k
I knew it was something I would have been missing, I can see how you have got this to work on the data I have supplied thank you so much.
It still hasn’t fully resolved the issue unfortunately as I have many to many cardinality to get share the % of the supplier partnership.
Is there another way to get around this?
| Supplier | Supplier Group | % |
| Parent Company 1 | Supplier group 1 | 70% |
| Parent Company 2 | Supplier group 1 | 30% |
| Parent Company 1 | Supplier group 2 | 50% |
| Parent Company 3 | Supplier group 2 | 50% |

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:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/m-p/547907
Thanks for the response.
I have been through the final word, scary as it was realising i may need to create more measure depending on the graphic.
however trying each of the M_single and M_totals i couldnt get it to work.
I notice this uses 1 table, where as i use 3 tables. Would i need to add further variables or conditions?
@Anonymous - Most times these things can be most easily resolved by you pasting some sample data, in this case perhaps a sample PBIX since you have 3 interrelated tables involved.
