Problem with total values within a table

I have a problem with my report. After running some tests, I noticed that the coverage percentage is considering surplus personnel. When I checked the surplus measurement, it doesn't subtract the assets that are considered surplus. The way it works is as follows:

If active personnel > authorized personnel, then it displays the result of the subtraction between authorized personnel and active personnel. Otherwise, it displays 0.

Can I share the PBIX

 

Heres an example: Apparently the surplus formula only works in the rows but not in the column totals.

Hi @alanshake23 

 

Try to have the surpluse logice within the measure.

 

Coverage % =

VAR Authorized = SUM('Table'[Autorizado])

VAR Active = SUM('Table'[Activos])

VAR Surplus = IF(Active > Authorized, Active - Authorized, 0)

VAR AdjustedActive = Active - Surplus

RETURN

DIVIDE(AdjustedActive, Authorized)

 

Please provide the expected output along with the screenshot if this doesnt work

Hi @alanshake23 ,

I’ve updated the surplus and coverage logic so it now functions correctly for both individual rows and the totals. The calculations should now match your expectations, particularly regarding surplus personnel.

The PBIX file is attached for your review. If you notice anything unusual or need further adjustments, please let me know.
