Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with the Matrix Row Subtotal summing incorrectly. Can you help?
Here is the dummy report.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Stuznet ,
I am so sorry that I missed it, now I have fixed it, try to use following measure.
Measure =
VAR r3total =
SUMX (
ADDCOLUMNS (
'Month Sort',
"1", CALCULATE ( [Row1] ),
"2", CALCULATE ( [Row2] )
),
( [1] + [2] ) * ( 13 - [Month Num] )
)
RETURN
IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'ROW'[Category] ),
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW1", IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ),
CALCULATE ( [Row1] ),
CALCULATE (
[Row1],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 1 >= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW2", IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ),
CALCULATE ( [Row2] ),
CALCULATE (
[Row2],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 2 <= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW3", IF ( ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ), CALCULATE ( [Row3] ), r3total )
),
CALCULATE ( [Row1] ) + CALCULATE ( [Row2] ) + r3total
)
BTW, pbix as attached.

Hi @Stuznet ,
This is caused by the max funcution in your measure while the total means all the month. You can change the measure to the following.
Measure =
IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'ROW'[Category] ),
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW1", IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ),
CALCULATE ( [Row1] ),
CALCULATE (
[Row1],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 1 >= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW2", IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ),
CALCULATE ( [Row2] ),
CALCULATE (
[Row2],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 2 <= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
),
MAX ( 'ROW'[Category] ) = "ROW3", IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Month Sort'[Month] ),
CALCULATE ( [Row3] ),
CALCULATE (
[Row1],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 1 >= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
+ CALCULATE (
[Row2],
FILTER ( 'Data', Data[Month Num] + 2 <= MONTH ( TODAY () ) )
)
)
),
CALCULATE ( [Row1] ) + CALCULATE ( [Row2] )
+ CALCULATE ( [Row3] )
)We use the inscope to judge the total and calculate different value for different scope.
If it doesn't meet your requirement, kindly share your expected result to me based on your dummy report.
