Subtotal not correct
- 8 years ago
Attached is my reply, although i dont' understand why you are totaling the 'AmountYTD' values in 2016 to get 1000. Seems like you would want the subtotal to be 400 for 2016.

This gives me this strange result (AmountYTD is the original dataset, testQTD is the new result:
I'll continue thinking throught it myself too.
UPDATE:
This is almost there:
testQTD =
var _thisQ = TOTALQTD( [Total Amount], dimDates[DAXDate] )
var _lastQ = TOTALQTD( [Total Amount] , PREVIOUSQUARTER( dimDates[DAXDate] ), VALUES( dimDates[Year] ) )
RETURN
IF(_thisQ = 0,
BLANK(),
_thisQ - _lastQ)Just got to figure out how to total 2017.
Hi PuzzledSpark
I would suggest reading through this great blog post from PowerPivotPro, where they explain why the totals do not add up, due to the way the filtering is applied on tables.
And then shows how to ensure that you can get the totals you want to be displayed correctly when using a table.
