Dax. Error Adding Rows

Good.

I am doing some calculations and I get an error when adding it in DAX, but if it works correctly if I calculate it in power Query.

I have this table to calculate the total

I created the column in power query and the sum of values are correct:

Total2 = Quantity * Precio_Medio * Sign

I want to do this same with DAX, for that I have calculated.

Quantity = SUM(F_BI[QUANTITY])
Price = AVERAGE(F_BI[PRECIO_MEDIO])
Sign = AVERAGE(F_BI[Sign])
Total = ([Quantity] * [Price])*[sign]

As you can see, the total sum is different, although the calculation of each line is correct. The good solution is -256.356€

Some idea that I'm doing wrong in DAX.

Thank you.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

Please try a measure like this:

 

 

Multiply AMount and Price =
SUMX(
   TableName,
   [ColumnAmount]*[ColumnPrice]
)

so I assume it would lookm like this

Multiply Amount and Price =
SUMX(
    F_BI,
    F_BI[QUANTITY]*F_BI[PRECIO_MEDIO]*F_BI[Sign]
)
    

 

Best regards
Michael

If yes, it is that the column was to check that everything was correct. I'll stick with the measure.

Greetings.
