How to get total and subtotal right

Hi all,

 

I'm having trouble getting the right formula for the following problem:

 

I have 3 tables.

  1. Sales
  2. Stock
  3. SelectedItems

I need to get a matrix that gives me for each selected item the SellingPrice * Stock

It's OK on the ItemCode level but I can't find the way to get the sub and total right :

I did SUM(Stock) * SUM(SellingPrice) which is why I get this result but i would like the subtotal to be the sum of ItemCodes

 

Many thanks in advance

If this can help in the future, I found the solution.

My mistake was simply trying to calculate SellingPrice * Stock in a measure while it was supposed to be a Column in the Stock Table (with a previous column to get the SellingPrice with a related function) :

Check if PBI creates a relationship for the tables,if has,use

measure = sumx('Sales',Sales[SellingPrice]*RELATED(Stock[Stock]))

if not ,create one
