Removing Totals on filtered data

[HanishR]

Hi all, 

I am trying to remove a total which is showing misleading information, 
When the data is filtered, or when it is not, the total columns marked below show the last Month / Quarter Total, 
Ideally I would like to hide that total until a month is selected, or alternatively by default show the current months data

Hi @HanishR ,

Does the expression above work?

Yes, Thank you.

Hi @HanishR ,

It is best not to use quick measure. Create your measure like so:

MTD = TOTALMTD(SUM(Sales[Sales]),'Date'[Date])

Or just change your quick measure like so:

Sales MTD = 
IF(
	ISFILTERED('Date'[Date]),
	ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),
	TOTALMTD(SUM('Sales'[Sales]), 'Date'[Date]) ---------.[Date] is deleted.
)

Then, the total will show the value of max month if no specific month is selected.

BTW, .pbix file attached.

Best Regards,

Icey

@Icey Thank you for that, and I can see how it helps, but it doesn't remove the total of the Budget Sales MTD when both the sales MTDand budget sales MTD measures are set with the format you mentioned. 

Is there a way to only show the budget sales MTD if there is a Value in the Sales MTD?

Hi @HanishR ,

How about create your Budget measure like so:

Budget = IF ( [Sales MTD] <> BLANK (), SUM ( 'Sales'[Budget] ) )

@HanishR , if you have used If in your formula, try to change that to filter.

Or force row context like this

sumx(summarize(Table,Table[class], table[country],"_1",[Budget]),[_1])

Appreciate your Kudos.

I have not used any formulas in this matrix,
it is purely sum of Budget
sum of sales
and then there's measures as needed for % of budget and % Growth.

@HanishR , These MTD, QTD, YTD are filter using relative date or some formula ?

[HanishR]

Yes they are using the built in DAX measures MTD & QTD
With Base value being sales and date being date table

[HanishR]

That is my MTD Sales Formula
