Invoke grand total

I am building a Burndown Chart, and my baseline looks like this : Baseline = 1046-[Cumulative Quantity]

1046 being the grand total of the COUNT of how many issues I have.

Is there any way in invoking my grand total dynamically ? I just want one number and not something that dynamically changes with my dates/rows.

 

If I look at a different project, I will have to manually change my grand total and would like to avoid that.

Try either one of these

First one counts ALL Rows in your table (including blanks)

 

Grand Total = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( TableName ), ALLSELETED ( TableName ) )

OR

the second counts all except blanks

 

Grant Total = CALCULATE ( COUNTA ( TableName[Column] ), ALLSELECTED ( TableName ) )

Take your pick according to your needs!

just FYI and reference

COUNTROWS(Table) = COUNTA(Table[Column]) + COUNTBLANK(Table[Column])
