Incorrect Totals for Measured Column

I am currently creating a report that shows a cost of goods, rebated cost of goods, and true cost of goods column. The picture posted below shows the measure I created for the true cost of goods. However, the totals for the column are way off. Is there an issue with the measure I created that would be causing this problem? The totals at the bottom should be closer to the $400,000 mark and not the $152 million it is currently showing.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I think [other_cost x qty_shipped] should be a measure, due to you can use it directly in your IF code.

    I update your code, please try this.

    True Cost 1= 
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        p21_view_invoice_line,
        p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount],
        "other_cost x qty_shipped", [other_cost x qty_shipped],
        "@Cost",
            IF (
                p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
                SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
                p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
            )
    ),
    [@Cost]
)

    In my sample it works. Result is as below.

    You can download my sample for more details.

    Anonymous you need to share the DAX measure expression you are using, and how the tables are connected.

    Here is the measure that I am using for the column. 

     

    True Cost =
    IF (
    p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
    SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
    p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
    )
     
    Both of these fields are from the same table p21_view_invoice_line
     
    Is this all you need parry2k ?

    Anonymous whatever columns you have on the rows, put that in the summarize:

     

    rue Cost =
SUMX (
SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Column1 On Row], Table[Column 2 Row], 
"@Cost", IF (
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
),
[@cost]
)

      I attempted to use that DAX expression below and I was getting the error, "Too few arguments were passed to the SUMX function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2."

       

      True Cost = SUMX (
      SUMMARIZE ( p21_view_invoice_line, p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount], p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped],
      "@Cost", IF (
      p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
      SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
      p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
      ),
      [@Cost]
      ))

       

      I also put that expression into DAX formatter and was getting a syntax error. I have included that as well.
