Incorrect group total on a matrix

[Jorjor]

I have a matrix with qty by item id and group id. I have the correct QTY by item but the group quanity won't sum correctly. Why is this?

My code is:

1_QTY = [Inventory]+[po 1]-[1_PRO]

@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your contribution on this thread.

Hi @Jorjor ,

 You can create another new measure as below to replace the original measure [1_QTY] on the matrix:

Measure =
SUMX (
    GROUPBY (
        'Table',
        'Table'[item id],
        'Table'[group id]
    ),
    [1_QTY]
)

If the above ones can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
