Slicing Issue with Drilldown

Hi there.

 

Currently I have a report that is not correctly slicing my budget data by the account hierarchy level I have created. I have 3 allocations at the lowest granularity level that are all repeating the same value (the total of the budgets for February) and not slicing correctly.

 

When I tried to adjust the cross filter direction to a bi-directional filter (to filter from the Chart of Accounts through the Budget Accounts and then to Budgets, the figures are not adding up correctly. ie total budgets should be 192m but instead are displayed as 109m.

 

Any help to get the correct slicers using the below pictures would be of great help.

    Hi toddpbi,

     

    That could be the trick of context. Can you share the sample please? At least the formula.

     

    Best Regards,

    Dale

      I am simply using a total budgets measure, derived from my Budgets table. 

       

      Total Budgets = SUM ( Budgets[Budget] )

       

      The issue is, my budgets table is not directly connected to the Chart of Accounts and so I cannot filter the Budgets by the Chart of Accounts hierarchy I have created in my model. Essentially, I need the filter to flow down from the Chart of Accounts table to filter my budgets as well as my actuals table.

      For example, I have three aggregations of accounts:

                                  Budgets           Actuals
      ADM FIX               1000000       3405921

      SCO FIX                1000000       2019475

      SCO VAR              1000000       9581746

       

      So, my actuals are being sliced correctly but my budgets are not (simply repeating the aggregated sum of the total budgets measure).
