Incorrect Matrix Totals

Hi, I know this has probably been asked many times before but I can't find a solution for my scenario.


I need to show timeslip data for consultants. The company either bills project phases at "Fixed Fee" (fixed price for the project phase with a total number of days, even if they work more than this then they can't bill for it) or "Day Rate" (standard day rate * days worked)

 

However my matrix totals are not adding up correctly - it seems to  be including the sub row "34,725" rather than the total for that project task "35,250".

 

I've included a screenshot and my DAX below. Can anyone help? I don't know if i'm missing something..

Matrix: https://i.ibb.co/Kr7Fvxq/1.png

 

Thanks.

hi, @Anonymous 

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common.

Just refer to this post about it here:

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

If you still have the problem, please share your sample pbix file or some simple sample data.

 

Best Regards,
