Hi everyone, I'm new with Power BI. I'm practicing with matrix and find that the visual's column grand total is not equal the total I manually calculated. Then I wonder how column grand total of matrix is calculated. Is it simply sum of all others column in matrix or something?
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

At the highlighted row, the total in Total columns is not equal the total of other columns.
Then I try filtering only 1 vessel code
It still have this problem. So I wonder if the calculate total mechanism of matric is simply sum all other columns or it can be affected by DAX which is used to calculate columns
