Subtracting measures not working, help...

Hello all!

 

I am having an issue I cannot seem to resolve.  I have used the same format for other measures on the same report and they are working fine, but this one is not calculating correctly in all cases - which confuses me even more(see screenshot below).  Here goes...

 

  • My 1st measure: 1 Order Change Volume = SUMX(GROUPBY(Append1,Append1[Ticket ID],Append1[Change in Orders]),Append1[Change in Orders])
    • This measure sums the change in orders at each unique ticket ID
  • My 2nd measure: 1 Order v Goal Change = SUMX(GROUPBY(Append1,Append1[Activity Date],Append1[0.5]),Append1[0.5])
    • This measure sums up our .5 model(forecast) at the date level
  • Mr 3rd measure: 1 Order Diff = SUMX(Append1,Append1[1 Order Change Volume] - [1 ORDER V GOAL CHANGE])
    • Subtracts my 1st measure from my 2nd

 

I cant figure our where I am going wrong here and it has now started driving me nuts 🙂  please help

Hi @YcnanPowerBI 

try v2

1 Order Diff V2 =
[1 Order Change Volume] - [1 ORDER V GOAL CHANGE]
