Help with Totals
Hello, I am having trouble calculating the total of my column in one of the tables, I have this measure that does a multiplication between other two measures, because of that, the total of that column is not the sum of all the values on the column, instead it multiplies the total of the two measures used, but because of that the outcome is wrong.
The Measure "30 Dias Custo" is the one I'm talking about, it multiplies "Custo" by "30 Dias Qtde" and gives that result, but I wanted the sum of the values on the Column "30 Dias Custo".
This is the "30 Dias Custo" Measure:
This is "Custo" Measure:
This is "30 Dias Qtde" Measure:
Is there a way to make "30 Dias Custo" show the sum of its column values?
