SUMX Sub Total showing as Grand Total

[Rodriguez]

Hi All - This is my current formula to calculate a monthly distinct count of serial numbers:

Distinct Serial Numbers RRR = SUMX(
    values(table1[month]),
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT(table1[serial])
    )
)

I initially get the expected results:

However, if I filter any of the top columns, the total becomes the grand total:

I have tried hasonefilter on month and on warranty (the column row), to no avail. Any one have a similar issue?

Hi  @Rodriguez ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Measure = 
var _table1=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Group3],"Value",[Distinct Serial Numbers RRR])
return
IF(
    HASONEVALUE('Table'[Group3]),[Distinct Serial Numbers RRR],SUMX(_table1,[Value]))

2. Result:

@Greg_Deckler Hey, really not sure how these videos and articles relate. I am using SUMX, which is only wrong when there is something filtered.

@Rodriguez If you can provide sample data, I can demonstrate.

@Rodriguez Often ISINSCOPE and/or HASONEVALUE works better than HASONEFILTER. First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
