Powerbi Excel Pivot Table Grand Total Difference

Hello,

 

I've read so many articles trying to explain this to me but it's still over my head. I created a pivot from our PowerBI data in excel and the grand totals showcases different numbers than my table. I understand that it's due to the value being a DistinctCount Measure but which is accurate the powerbi total or excels?

 

Thanks

    It depends on your definition of "accurate",  and it depends on what insights you are trying to get out of your data.  Use what is most appropriate.
