Measure different from Total

Hi Guys.  Trying to work out this measure but can't seem to make it work.    So I have the following measure:    Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Benchmarks[Benchmark Value]), 'Benchmark Measure'[Benchm...

    azakir,

     

    Personally I would re-write the measure to not use the time intelligence functions, like this:

    Measure =
    VAR MaxDate = MAX ( 'Calendar'[Calendar Date] )
    VAR MinDate = MaxDate - 7
    VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Benchmarks[Benchmark Value] ),
        'Benchmark Measure'[Benchmark Measure Code] = "BCM", 
        'Benchmark Type'[Benchmark Type Description] = "Schedule 1MS",  
        REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Calendar' ),
        'Calendar'[Calendar Date] > MinDate,
        'Calendar'[Calendar Date] <= MaxDate
    )
    
    RETURN Result

     

    I find it's a lot more explicit written this way and easier to debug, for me personally.

     

    If that doesn't work for you, can you please share a sample pbix file? (If you don't know how, please check the pinned thread in the forum.) It would make debugging your issue easier. 🙂
