Measure does not total
I have a measure that finds the smallest bandwidth and longest term for a quote and displays the MRC. But the MRC does not total in a matrix.
This is the measure I'm using:
MinBWMaxT =
var minBWValue = min(BWT_MRC[BW])
var maxTermValue = max(BWT_MRC[Term])
return CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(BWT_MRC[MRC]), BWT_MRC[BW] = minBWValue, BWT_MRC[Term] = maxTermValue)
My matrix displays the data correctly, but without the total.
I have verified the MRC column is a number in my table.
Do I need to alter my measure, or somehow create a new table based on the measure and then total the MRC?
Any help will be much appreciated!
William Rodriguez gave me this answer that works:
VAR StandardEquation =
VAR MinBW = MIN( Table1[BW] )
VAR MaxT = MAX( Table1[Term] )
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM( Table1[MRC] ) ,
Table1[BW] = MinBW ,
Table1[Term] = MaxT
)
VAR Total_Equation =
SUMX(
Table1 ,
VAR ONE =
CALCULATE(
MIN ( Table1[BW] ) ,
FILTER(
Table1 ,
Table1[Quote Number] = EARLIER( Table1[Quote Number] )
)
)
VAR TWO =
CALCULATE(
MAX ( Table1[Term] ) ,
FILTER(
Table1 ,
Table1[Quote Number] = EARLIER( Table1[Quote Number] )
)
)
VAR EQUATION =
IF (
Table1[BW] = ONE && Table1[TERM] = TWO ,
Table1[MRC]
)
RETURN EQUATION
)
VAR GRANULARITY_CHECK =
VAR YEAR = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Calendar'[Year] )
VAR TOTAL_TYPE = COUNTROWS( VALUES( 'Calendar'[Year] ) )
VAR Total_Indicator =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( Table1 ) ,
'Calendar'[Year] = YEAR ,
ALLSELECTED(Table1 )
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS( Table1 ) = Total_Indicator || ( TOTAL_TYPE > 1 )
RETURN
IF(
GRANULARITY_CHECK = TRUE() ,
Total_Equation ,
StandardEquation
)

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
That being said, I'm wondering if the issue is your SELECTEDVALUE because in the context of ALL this would return BLANK?
Forgive me, but can you help me apply this solution to my data? Would it be something like this?
Measure2 = If(Hasonefilter(BWT_MRC[Qte-BwT]),
If(BWT_MRC[MRC]<>[MinBWMaxT],0,SUM(BWT_MRC[MRC])),
0)This doesn't work because a single value for the column "MRC" in table "BWT_MRC" cannot be determined.
I am relatively new to Power BI, but I am not using any slicer on the vis - my measure is looking at the table and finding the record with the lowest BW and longest Term for a quote. I need to total these values found by the measure. I'm just not sure how to use HasOneFilter to do this?
I've attached a scrubbed file with sample data for the columns as well as the Measure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
