PowerBI returns values obviously wrong

We will be happy to help, but need specific information. Please read this explanatory thread:

Like said, I can't.
Of course I can post a table with 20 rows and tell what I except the outcome to be- and it will be the outcome. It works in all of my data dummysets with <100 rows.
But when I apply it onto real world data, those kind of mistakes happen; somewhere in between the thousands of rows I got. And I can't share the file with you as I can't attach it; also its business data my employer would not be happy to see publibly disclosed. That's why numeric examples don't make sense here.
I also don't expect tailorfit solutions but maybe advice from people who managed to solve a somewhat similiar issue or tips how to fix such issues in general... I Can't just share the data with you.
Like said, my problem is that PowerBI, for example, counts 190k values when I look onto the table,
but when I count the Sales Docs. in a visual, its only 30k
No filters applied, no distinct count, nothing.
And I don't know why. And I don't know how to overcome that issue. But I most overcome it; report quality is crucial for my boss.
And I think when I fix this, hopefully, a number of wicked numbers that are definitely wrong (I calculated the outcome manually to be sure) could be fixed alongside.

So what measures are you using? COUNTROWS? COUNT?...
If you use a measure like COUNTROWS('Table') you will get the number of rows in the table (in the filter context) if that is what you need.
