Issue with sum on row and total values
I am using an if statement to check values and it works on row level but on total it uses the total line which give wrong totals
Hi Anonymous ,
In Power BI, the total is not simply the sum of all row values, it will also calculate by the formula.
You may consider to create a new measure by using ISINSCOP() and SUMX() function.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/sumx-function-dax
measure = IF(ISINSCOPE([axis column]),[xxx %],SUMX(ALLSELECTED('table'),[xxx %]))
It will return xxx % on row level and return the sum of xxx % at total field.
Best Regards,
Jay
