My pie charts displaying an unexpected total

I need this pie chart to equal the card up top. They're both using exactly the same measure although pie chart is split by item. Filters are set exactly the same on both. I'm bewildered as to why when split into pie chart, I'm seeing different figures.

Here is a breakdown of the pie chart in a matrix.

As you can see, the rows are displaying the same as the slices in the pie chart. And they add up to more than the total. The total is the same as what I'm seeing in the above card. 

 

If anyone has a solution to this, it would be amazing. I need the pie chart slices to equal the card.

 

Thanks!! 😄

Hi,

To answer this quetion it is better to have the dataset with the issue.not the real data but with dummy data.Without seen the data it is hard to tell what the problem is.However It might be an issue in your relationships.If you are connecting fact table and dimension table to get the items check the relationship.

 

Regards
