Measure showing incorrect total
Hi,
I have a measure which calculates cost based on parameters. At the row level, the cost is correct. But the totals show incorrect results.
The expected results are:
Drinks - 13
Fruit - 5
TOTAL - 18
Can someone help correct my calculation please?
Please try this expression that references your existing Cost measure. Replace Table with your actual table name.
Cost SUMX = SUMX(VALUES(Table[Category]), [Cost])

Pat

mr_reygan , Try like
sumx(Summarize(Table, Table[category], "_1",[Cost]),[_1])
@amitchandak , great! it worked! 🙂
Do I always have to create 2 measures? 1 for row level and another 1 for totals?

Hi, mr_reygan
According to your description, you want to get the correct total in the total row, you can try my steps:
- Create a measure:
Cost_new = var _new=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],"_value",[Cost]) return IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Category]),[Cost],SUMX(_new,[_value]))- Go to the Matrix, replace the [Cost] with the new measure [Cost_new], like this:
And you can get what you want.
You can create a new measure for every measure which has a wrong total value in Matrix using this method and replace them in the chart.
