How to avoid double counting for Sums?
My data is like this in the underlying table:
My visual is like this:
When I show the total of Trx amount in a card for the visual, it shows 350 instead of 175. Because the underlying data has 2 distinct Project ID's for the same Person ID, it duplicates. How do I show the value in card appearing as 175?
This example shows only 2 Project ID's but there can be multiple associated with Person ID. However the visual should show only the sum of amount that is in the display. I tried calculating distinctcount of Project IDs and tried dividing the regular sum of Amt by this distinct count. Doesn't work.
Thank you!

Hi Anonymous ,
Depending on the information you have provided, I created a sample data to help you solve your problem. You can follow these steps below.
Sample data:1.Add new measure.
Sum of Trx = VAR _PersonID = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Person_ID] ) VAR _CountProj = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Proj_ID] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Person_ID] = _PersonID ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Trx] ), _CountProj )Final output:
