Measure not working as expected

Hi all,

 

I have some values and measures like you can see in the table below.
As explenation: The GLP and also the Next GLP get multiplied by the invoiced QTY. The division between these values is the GLP impact in %.

This works fine on an item level but looking at the whole picture power bi sums up the GLP, Next GLP and QTY values and calculates based on that.

How can I achive it that the system sums up the actual calculated values and and divides those?

To be more clear: the subtotal of the column "GLP x Invoiced QTY" is 6763782,00 and the subtotal of the column "Next GLP x invoiced QTY" is 6939557,72 so I would expect a percentage difference of 2,6%.

The system on the other hand takes the sum of the GLP's and of the QTY and divides those values which lead to an overall impact of 13,2% which is not true.
