Incorrect total using measure

Hi,

 

I am struggling with calculating the correct measure total, because Power BI applies the measure on the totals line instead of summarizing the result per line. I do not get any values if I use SUMX(measure1 * measure2) (maybe because SUMX does not work on measures). Does anybody please have a suggestion how I can solve the problem? Thank you!

 

 

Case

Measure 1= [Price A] = AVERAGEX(Filter('Table'; 'Table'[ID]=100); [Value])

Measure 2= [Value A ]= SUMX(Filter('Table'; 'Table'[ID]=101); [Value])

Measure 3 = [Price A] * [Value A ]

 

 

Total in Power BI: 25*442.74=11269,472

 

Total I need: Sum of all rows=11285,84

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Please try this formula as a measure:

Measure = SUMX(VALUES('Table'[DateTime]),[Value A]*[Price A])

Hope it helps...

Hi,

 

Try this measure

 

Cost A = SUMX(SUMMARIZE(VALUES('Table'[DateTime]),[DateTime],"ABCD",[Price A]*[Value A]),[ABCD])

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Thanks for input- I have tried to make the original post more precise. Please see my dummyfile (it did not work with SUMX): https://www.dropbox.com/s/k5fu3amb1whff7h/PowerBI_dummyData_01082018.pbix?dl=0

Hi CR1,

 

I use sumx but it works well on my side, so could you post your measure of [Volume A [MWh] and [Price A [EUR/MWh]?

Hey,

 

I'm wondering if this would solve your problem:

Tot cost A [EUR] =
SUMX(
    'name of your table'
    ,[Volume A [MWh]]*[Price A [EUR/MWh]]
)

Regards,

Tom

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Could you please share your dummy data ( because an image is not easy to manipulate) and I will give a try.

Thank you!! I was not aware that I had to specify the column I wanted to summarize each row across (Table[DateTime]), it solved my problem!
