    Hi MIKAOKSA ，

     

    9.58 is the  result of sum(9.67,14.33) * devide( sum(4,73,2.66),sum(5.93,12.59)), as measure is used in context,it will also calculated in the total field, not only simply sum the rows in the column.

    I have 2 suggestions  for you:

    1.convert  the other measures to calculated columns, and you will see :

    2. modify your measure as below:

    Goal time on own part = 
var a = SUMMARIZE('Table (2)','Table (2)'[Index],"A",SUM('Table (2)'[Time on work/Employee])/SUM('Table (2)'[Total completion time of work]),"B",SUM('Table (2)'[Goal time whole work]))
return
SUMX(DISTINCT(a),[A]*[B])

    And you will see:

     

     

    Here is my .pbix file.

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

Hi, 

 

thank you for your quick response. How ever, that did not solve the problem, it gives the exact same answer as before adding that formula.

Situation including work, should add up to 10,74.......but doesnt.

    Time on work/EmployeeGoal time on own partPersonal efficiency %EMPIDWORKID% of workGoal time whole workTotal completion time of work
    4,737,71163,071T000079,769,675,93
    2,663,03113,821T000121,1314,3312,59

     

    Goal time whole work, Time on work/employee, total time of work come straight from data.

     

    % of work = 

    DIVIDE(
        SUM('REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV'[Time on work/employee]);
        SUM('REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV'[Total time of work])
    )
     
    Goal time on own part =
    SUM(REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV[Goal time of whole work]) * [% of work]
     
    Personal efficiency =
    DIVIDE(
        [Goal time on own part];
        SUM('REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV'[Time on work/Employee])
    )
     
    Now the problem is when trying to summarize all work together, Goal time on own part should be 10,74 but for some reason it gives 9,58. Time on work/employee for example gives correct result. Its just this column which does not calculate correctly.
