Power BI Matrix Report - Total Incorrect

Hello All,

 

I am trying to use a matrix visualization to view the count of issues created, updated and in backlog. While trying to retrieve backlog issues, PowerBI does and total of all rows instead of displaying the last value for the month. Could you please help out with this?

 

MonthCreated CountClosed CountGrowth (Created-Closed)Backlog (formula given below)
(+)February1037current value 13 but it should be 7.
February 13211
February 35145
February 42027

 

Calculation currently used for backlog column of the table.

" Backlog = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Growth]),ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Date] <= EARLIER('Table'[Date]))" 

 

Can somebody help me how to solve this? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @radhikalakshmi ,

 

  • Method1——Change the summarization type from Sum to Max like this:

change summarize type from Sum to Max.jpg

 

  • Method2——Need an additional measure:
Measure based on Backlog column = IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Backlog]),MAX('Table'[Backlog]),MAXX(ALL('Table'),[Backlog]))

 

  • Method3—— Create a measure instead:
Backlog Measure instead of Backlog column = CALCULATE(SUM([Growth (Created-Closed)]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])))

Here is the final output:
