I have a visual that contains a cloumn and a mesuare. The Total row for the Column has the correct value. The Total row for the Measure is incorrect. How can I get the Total for the mesaure to be correct. It should be 9. I'm experiencing this issue in a Table visual. My Measure contains the following:
Column Measure
3 3
3 3
3 3
Total 9 15
Thanks for your help
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please try a measure like this one:
MEASURE =
SUMX (
VALUES ( 'Table'[Grouping Field] ),
SUM ( 'Adjusted'[Multiplier] ) * COUNTA ( 'OUT'[TKT_NO] )
)
For more information on why the totals are incorrect you can refer to:

Gao, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that formula still gives me a Total that is much higher than what it should be. Do you have any other suggestion?
You cannot measure a measure directly. Either materialize it first, or create a separate measure that implements the entire business logic.
lbendlin, What do you mean by materializing it first?
Thanks
Use it in a SUMMARIZE or SUMMARIZECOLUMNS and then SUMX over the virtual table.
