Measure: Wrong total
Hi,
I have a column (EUROffen) that sums up to the amount of 3.017 kEUR which is a positive value. The positive value comes from many positive values but I am also having negative values which I want to be set to 0,- EUR. That´s what I have achieved with my measure EUROffenTest. At line level everything works ok, however, the total is not correct. I am expecting a bigger value for the EUROffenTest than for SUM(EUROffen).
I tried the following code for the measure:
EUROffenTest = VAR EUROffenZeilen = SUMX(ABVorgangspositionenMonate, ABVorgangspositionenMonate[EURBestellt]-ABVorgangspositionenMonate[EURFakturiert])

Hi, _chris_
Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:
1.First I have created the following table and the column names and data are the data you have given:
2.Second, you can try the following code as a calculated column:
EUROffenTest = VAR EUROffenZeilen='ABVorgangspositionenMonate'[EURBestellt]-'ABVorgangspositionenMonate'[EURFakturiert] RETURN IF(EUROffenZeilen<=0,0,EUROffenZeilen)3.Then modify the way he aggregates:
4.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.
Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

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

Hi Greg,
thanks for you reply; i have seen this page before. However, it is not working. Unfortunately, I did not give you the full context.
In fact, I am working with two tables and I guess that is the problem. For the Total, first I need to summarize the expression (EURBestellt-EUROffen) and decide whether the value is below zero or not. Finally, I need to summarize the intermediate results.
Still not sure how to do this.
Thx, Christian

Hi,
Does this measure work?
Measure = SUMX(ABVorgangspositionenBasis[Projekt],[EUROffentest])
