SUMX and SUMMARIZE DISTINCT VALUES

Hi,

 

I need SUMX distinct values of the column 'Fact_Planned Orders'[Material/Plant (MP) Proportion * MaxDateMP], grouped by 'Fact_Planned Orders'[Planning Plant]. The formula that I´m using is the following:

 

Volume weighted avg PH per plant =

VAR PlantID = 'Fact_Planned Orders'[Planning Plant]

RETURN
CALCULATE(SUMX (DISTINCT(
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Fact_Planned Orders', 'Fact_Planned Orders'[Planning Plant], 'Fact_Planned Orders'[Material/Plant (MP) Proportion * MaxDateMP] )), [Material/Plant (MP) Proportion * MaxDateMP]
), FILTER('Fact_Planned Orders','Fact_Planned Orders'[Planning Plant] = PlantID))

The results are: AnaMass_1-1683106956532.png

 

 
However I think that the formula is summing some duplicate values because when I perform validations on excel removing the duplicate rows and summing the distinct values of [Material/Plant (MP) Proportion * MaxDateMP] column, the result is the following:

This result is more close of the result that I expect for the formula mencioned above. However I don´t know where is the mistake in my measure formula, because the Power BI result shown seems do be summing not the distinct values.
 
Anyone can help me with this situation?
 
Thank you

SUMMARIZE already does the grouping for you, no need for DISTINCT.
