SUM doesnt work

[MIKAOKSA]

I have a problem in summing calculated values. I have this calculated value:

Osuuden tavoiteaika =

SUM('REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV'[Työn tavoiteaika]) * [Osuus työlle %]

When lines are displayed individually the numbers are correct but when I try to get to single value the calculations are a bit off. I suspect this has something to do with the "[Osuus työlle %]" not being a sum value but it is a percentage value and I dont think it should be summed, there has to be something else. I am a beginner so please, help eventhough this is propably super simple.

Also, how do I insert Pictures on these messages? Would make explaining so much easier.

Try this

Osuuden tavoiteaika =

SUMX('REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV','REP_EMPOPERATWR_MV'[Työn tavoiteaika]) * [Osuus työlle %])

Thanks,

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.

Please share your sample data and expected output.

Time on work/Employee	Goal time on own part	Personal efficiency %	EMPID	WORKID	% of work	Goal time whole work	Total completion time of work
4,73	7,71	163,07	1	T0000	79,76	9,67	5,93
2,66	3,03	113,82	1	T0001	21,13	14,33	12,59

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.

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.

Thank you so much!! 🙂 I did the column thing and it seems to be working perfectly!
