Measure totals not summing properly
Interesting because it looks like the measurement is correct on the visible rows, no?
This is an example:
Hello Anonymous !
You are correct in thinking you have to use a SUMX.
Try adding a
Measure = SUMX('Table', [new employment] * [employment share] )
as sumx calculates each row
that didnt seem to work, but made the measure total much larger.

Yes the visible rows are there, but it seems to be summing other values which dont appear in the column in the table, but make up the total.
I think see the issue in that its now summing the employment % shares first and then applying that to the sum of new employment. , which is then increasing the value to 26m
actually that worked, its because i was putting sum( within the sumx, when i didnt need to, many thanks!
