Measure is creating duplicate rows in a table

[Anonymous]

All,

I created a measure to return the greater of 0 or the difference Between Baseline - CapEx and Forecast CapEx. The measure is returning the correct value for each Project ID I filter on, but it's also creating additional rows (with the same project ID I filtered on) for every Project Name. My guess is that this behavior is due to how the data model is configured, but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has seen this before and has a DAX workaround.

Release CapEx = MAX( 0,'Baseline'[Baseline - CapEx] - [Forecast CapEx])

Hi,

Does this work?

=if(isblank('Baseline'[Baseline - CapEx]),blank(),MAX( 0,'Baseline'[Baseline - CapEx] - [Forecast CapEx]))

@Ashish_Mathur  It works in terms of producing the numbers I want, but the solution I found earlier was to bring fields in from a table other than my project fact table. Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

Can you please provide more info with screenshots, input and required output in table format for the community so that you ask can be better understood and resolved quickly.

@pranit828 No, I can't actually, due to confidentiality. I was hoping that someone would recognize the behavior and maybe provide some clues as to what could be causing this behavior. 

If that's not you; thanks anyway for trying.

@Anonymous , Couple of reasons I can think of.

1. These measures are coming from different tables and one of them have a problem with  project join

2. Both table has project ID, and there is a common project table(Project Dimension) and you took project or project name from a fact, not from Dimension

3. One of the measures is using all/all selected. even possible when they are from the same table

@amitchandak  Good call! It looks like using the Project ID and some other fields from a fact table was causing the problem. 
Thank you.
