Hello,
I have the below raw data
| PersonID | TravelDate | ContactCount |
| John | 11/1/2023 | 5 |
| John | 11/2/2023 | 6 |
| John | 11/3/2023 | 3 |
| Nick | 11/1/2023 | 4 |
| Nick | 11/2/2023 | 7 |
| Steve | 11/3/2023 | 5 |
| Mary | 11/2/2023 | 3 |
For each person, there is a goal and the way i did it is to create two measures.
1)maxperson = max(MainTable[PersonID])
and then
2) persongoal = IF(MainTable[maxperson] ="Mary",8,10)
At the end i display the goal filled %. Now, i expect to have the result as
| PersonID | ContactCount | Goal | GoalFilled |
| John | 14 | 10 | 140% |
| Nick | 11 | 10 | 110% |
| Steve | 5 | 10 | 50% |
| Mary | 3 | 8 | 38% |
| Total | 33 | 38 | 87% |
But i get the result as below.
| PersonID | ContactCount | Goal | GoalFilled |
| John | 14 | 10 | 140% |
| Nick | 11 | 10 | 110% |
| Steve | 5 | 10 | 50% |
| Mary | 3 | 8 | 38% |
| Total | 33 | 10 | 330% |
The columns work, but the total gets messed up. Any recommendation on how to fix the total .
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It's a measure totals issue.
Try
SUMX(VALUES(MainTable[PersonID]),IF ([maxperson] ="Mary", 8,10))
--
As a convention when we use a measure in another measure, we don't precede it with the table name
