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 Anonymous,

     

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

  • 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 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]?
