I have an issue with using a Measure dynamically in different tables. I haven't set it up correctly. Can someone please help correct?
There are 4 Tables - Key, Amounts, Base, DateDimension:

I need to do a calculation where I take Amount / (Base *(1/12)) for each Unique ID.
When I display the data in a Matrix with all possible Names included, it gives the correct result:
Calc =
Var _Amount = sum(Amounts[Amounts])
Return
Divide (_Amount,[Var_Base]*(1/12),0)
Var _Base = Average(Base[Base])
However, if I decide I only want to display it so that only values with amounts are included, it dynamically reduces the Base and thus changes the Total Calc from 18.32 -> 18.37.
How can I either (a) hold the total base constant or (b) have the Total Calc add up the Rows rather than calculating dynamically?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Thanks @Greg_Deckler!
Result in case it helps anyone:
Calc2 =
IF(
HasOneFilter(Table[Name]),
Var _Amount = sum(Amounts[Amounts])
Var _Base = Average(Base[Base])
Return
Divide (_Amount,(_Base*(1/12)),0),
Sumx(Table2[Calc])
)
