Hi,

 

I've this sample data, and i want to "force" the result of grand total and subtotal.

Example:

 

The expected result would be this:

But the result that i want is this (sample data):

Basically I want to be able to set the values manually.

Thanks.

Hi @v-xicai ,

 

I figured it out a solution with the help of this link.

https://powerpivotpro.com/2012/03/subtotals-and-grand-totals-that-add-up-correctly/

 

I create another measure with my final goal and called KPI Increased (for other scenario):

 

 

KPI = IF( COUNTROWS( VALUES( 'Table'[SUB_CAT] )) = 1 ; AVERAGE('Table'[KPI]) ; 
IF( COUNTROWS( VALUES( 'Table'[CAT] )) = 16 ; 0,058 ; AVERAGEX(VALUES('Table'[SUB_CAT]); AVERAGE( 'Table'[KPI Increased] ) ) ))

1st line: result for rows (the same as KPI)

 

2nd line: I choose "16" because my grand total have 16 sub-categories

3rd line: my subtotals changed with my increased values.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

You would have to explain a bit more the structure of your tables and the fields you are using on the visual for an accurate answwer. Try a measure using ISFILTERED and/or ISCROSSFILTERED to detect where you are on the visual and set the result accordingly

Hi @AlB 

 

The goal is to have a simple table with the fixed data. I don't want the data to change, it's a kind of "budget". The subtotals and grand totals are different for teams to focus on their goal (colors) rather than the overall goal (subtotal / grand total).

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently. You can post your new idea here https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas , to improve the Power BI.

 

It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

 

You may create goal column , then use KPI visual to display difference between actual and goal values.

 

Best Regards,

Amy
