How to get a data card to display the total sum of a measure

[water-guy-5]

Hello,

I have a table that contains the "maximum limit" for a site, along with the result from a certain test. The Diff column is used to create a flag for when a site has a result that is greater than the limit.

The measures of the columns are:

Result=

AVERAGEX(

    KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('FactLabResults'[Analysis])),

    CALCULATE(AVERAGE('FactLabResults'[ResultTxt])

))
Limit = a set value in a table
Diff = a simple calculation that subtracts these two values

Flag = 

IF( [Diff] > 0, 1, 0)

Here is a table that illustrates this.

I have successfully created a conditional format that highlights a site red when the difference > 0 aka flag = 1. This works on the row level, meaning when the table has the sites column included.

What I want is to be able to have a data card (pictured in the bottom right) that would display the total number of exceedences in this example. As of now, I believe that it is summarizing all of the values and since the total result is lower than the total limit for ALL sites, then it is displaying zero.

How do I fix this?

Hi @water-guy-5 ,

You can create a measure as below to get it and put this new measure onto your card visual.

Measure =
SUMX (
    GROUPBY ( 'FactLabResults', 'FactLabResults'[Code], 'FactLabResults'[Site] ),
    [Diff]
)

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
