Incorrect total in Power Bi

Hi,

I have a decimal column in Power Bi with positive and negative values, when I put that column (by itself) to a graph or a table I get a total of -2 billion, but when I copy it to excel and get the total it gives me a different number (like 194 million) which is the correct answer I am looking for.  I have no idea why power Bi sum incorrectly and I need to show totals in my report. 

 

Please help,

Thank you!

  • Use tables to check your values.

     

    Ensure the you have the correct default aggregation. Select the column and look under Modelling. Maybe it's a count not a sum.

     

    Is this just a value or a DAX Measure?

     

    Add some slicers to check the value with smaller data sets.

     

    Also try duplicating the Query Editor Query and grouping with a SUM does this give the same value?
