Inconsistent Sum/Total in Matrix

Hello all,

 

Need help one more time.

 

I have the below inconsistent Sum/Total in a Matrix. As you can see Total Net sales = 30.9M. When adding in raws a material breakdown, despite of having the same total (30.9M), in reality the sum of ech amount = 29.1M

 

Just below the capture I have added the table in values so you can check the actual total by material is 29.1M - Any idea on how to solve it? Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Msampedro ,

 

Can you please share what is the calculation you are using to get this values?

 

I believe this is a context based the sum of values that are dependent on other calculations may return incorrect results in aggregations at different levels depending on the aggregator column.

 

Can you please share a mockup data or sample of your PBIX file. You can use a onedrive, google drive, we transfer or similar link to upload your files.

If the information is sensitive please share it trough private message.


Regards

Miguel Félix
