Incorrect Total in Measure

Hello,   

The total in my measure for "Elasticity" is incorrect and it is still calculating rows that I have tried to filter out.   I need the total in the measure to only calculate the rows that have "Dir Customer PP Count" > 3.  This is a snapshot of the table before I added the >3 logic:

This is the table after >3 logic added:

The total elasticity remains unchanged at 0.81.  The measure is working correctly at the row level by not calculating elasticity for rows w>3 PP but the total is incorrect

.

This is the logic for the elasticity calculation:

With this calculation, I can't create another measure to do a sumx(values... or avgx(values.....  I need the calculation to be performed at the total level using only qualified rows that have >3 PP

Still fairly new to BI, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi JeanMariePBI ,

     

    In general for this problem, try to use the sumx function for accumulation, similar to the following.

    M =
VAR a =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) )
RETURN
    IF ( a > 2, SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), BLANK () )

    M_ = SUMX('Table',[M])


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and test data. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry

    Hi JeanMariePBI ,

     

    Try for the last line of code

     

    Sumx(Firstnonblank(DimensionColumn,1), ifstatement on last line)
