Matrix not adding up correctly

Hi everyone!

 

I'm trying to create a matrix visualization in which, depending on the day of the month, will display different measures.

On the rows i have item ID (from a sales table) and on the columns i have the days of the month (from a calendar table). Both tables are linked by a date key.

The thing is that the row subtotals are not adding up correctly.

 

What have i done so far?

Before day 15, i have the sum of units sold. And on or after the 16th only a number 2.

pre15 =
IF (
    DAY ( LASTNONBLANK ( FECHAS[FECHA], 1 ) ) <= 15,
    SUM ( DS_SUGERENCIA_COMPRA[VENTAS] ),
    2
)

...and then created a little fix to see if I had different results:

pre15 FIX =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( FECHAS[Day] ),
    [pre15],
    SUMX ( VALUES ( DS_SUGERENCIA_COMPRA[SKU] ), [pre15] )
)

(for this last one, I followed the steps listed in this post --> Subtotals and Grand Totals That Add Up “Correctly”)

 

So i get the following:

What am I doing wrong? Robot Frustrated

Hi santt66,

 

You could try to follow below steps:

create a meaurse 

day's value =
IF ( LASTNONBLANK ( 'calendar'[day], 1 ) <= 15, SUM ( Sheet7[ventas] ), 2 )

monthly value =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'calendar' ),
'calendar'[year] = MAX ( 'calendar'[year] )
&& 'calendar'[month] = MAX ( 'calendar'[month] )
),
[day's value]
)

modify = IF(HASONEVALUE('calendar'[day]),[day's value],[monthly value])

 Then use this in Matrix like below

Hi @dax 

As I continued working, I encounter a similar problem but this time regarding subtotals and grand totals;

This time, the suggestion you gave me did not work... or maybe i'm doing something wrong again?
