Incorrect sum of absolute values in matrix

[Arshadjehan]

Hi there, 

   I am trying to have some calculation as under:

budget	actual	adjusted budget	deviation	absolute deviation
100	70	93.8	-23.8	23.8
90	80	84.4	-4.4	4.4
50	75	46.9	28.1	28.1
240	225	225.0	0.0	0.0

Where Adjusted budget = Budget x ( Total Actual / Total budget)

Deviation = Actual - Adjusted Budget

Absolate Deviation = ABS (Deviation)

But total of absolute deviation comes at 0.0 instead of required 56.3.

Any help?

Thanks all for the reeponse.

I tried creating calculated column as advised by @Anonymous 

Here are the resulting matix, upper is based on measures and bottom one is based on calculated columns:

Here are my measures:

Actual Total = CALCULATE(sumx(Budget,Budget[Actual]),ALLSELECTED(Budget))

BE Total = CALCULATE(sumx(budget,Budget[BE]),ALLSELECTED(Budget))

Adjusted Budget = sum(Budget[BE])*DIVIDE([Actual Total],[BE Total])

Deviation = SUM(Budget[Actual])-[Adjusted Budget]

Absolute Deviation = ABS([Deviation])

With calculated columns i am unable to get correct values for Adjusted Budget, for unknown reason....

All figures in upper tables are correct, except Total of Absolute Deviation....

Any help how can I correct above measures to get accurate total?

Hi @Arshadjehan ,

May be you can give this a try.

In edit queries, hit on Advanced Editor, once the window is open,

change the type of BE and Actual field to type number ( see screenshot below).

Sometimes the decimal point are taken as a rounded value and in that case the values differs.

from this:

to this:

let me know if thsi works.

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous 

Data in Budget n Actual columns is already in Whole Number format so no chances of rounding off?

There musy be some way / tweak to prevent false zero total for Absolute Deviation Measure, I believe!

Still waiting for the solution......

Hi @Arshadjehan ,

I can't find something useful from your description snapshots. Can you please share a pbix file with some dummy data to test?
In addition, it seems like your formula hs nested multiple measures which will cause the filter conflict on calculation.

Hi @Arshadjehan ,

try this.

Absolate Deviation = SUMX(SUMMARIZE(<table>, <groupBy_columnName>,"@Deviation", [Deviation]), ABS([@Deviation]))  

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, this will also help others.

Please give Kudos for support.

HI @Arshadjehan,

It sounds like multiple aggregation calculation issues, you can take a look at the following blog about measure total:

I think you are using measures, while performing row calculations. In case of measures, these are evaluated per line and for the Total row (the bottom row), this is evaluated on the dataset with all filters removed. Hence, it is not summing column [Absolute deviation]. 

In this case, since it is based on row calculations, you could consider calculated columns as that would give you what you want. Could you give us your measure definitions? If you don't want to use Calculated Columns (because you want this to behave correctly in a filtered context), I could have a look in seeing how to make them work in any context (single row table or multi row table context).

Hope this helps, let me know!

Kind regards

HI @Arshadjehan ,

Use these calculated columns:

Absolute Deviation = ABS('Table'[Deviation])

Adjusted Budget = 'Table'[Budget]*(SUM('Table'[Actual])/SUM('Table'[Budget]))

Deviation = 'Table'[Actual]-'Table'[Adjusted Budget]

My output:

Let me know if this works.
