Inconsistent Sum/Total in Matrix
- 1 year ago
Hi Msampedro ,
Thanks for getting back. Yes, the main issue was due to how the many-to-many relationship between the Net Sales and Mapping tables allows a single material to be associated with multiple layers. This causes the matrix visual to re-evaluate the total across all matching combinations, including ones not directly visible in the row-level breakdown - which results in a higher total.
To fix this, here is a measure that explicitly sums Net Sales per unique Material–Layer combination from the Mapping table.
Net Sales (Fixed Total) = SUMX( SUMMARIZE( 'Mapping', 'Mapping'[Material], 'Mapping'[Layer] ), CALCULATE(SUM('Net sales'[Net Sales])) )This forces the matrix to total exactly what is shown in the rows, avoiding the context from the many-to-many relationship. With this change, the matrix total now becomes 29.73M.
Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

Thank you.
Hi v-veshwara-msft MFelix ,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I am trying to share a mock PBIX file but the file type (.pibx) is not supported. Do you know how I can share the file with you?
Thanks,
Miguel
