Sum of Matrix table column Total

i have a ratio to days old calculation 

 

Ratio Day's Old = [Working Days Old] * [% Of Volume Grand Total]

 

but on the bottom of my table it is not totalling the ratio's it is producing the answer 7. it should be approx 3.2

 

is there anyway i can just get a total of the Ratio Day's Old Coloumn, as a separate measure woudl be good

Hi @NewbieJono ,

 

Please try the following measure:

 

 

Ratio Day's Old = 
SUMX(
   'Table'[Column which defines the granualrity of your visual],
   [Working Days Old] * [% Of Volume Grand Total]
)

 

If you would post the whole cisual I could give you a more detaile answer but by in the end the function is what you are looking for when you replace 'Table'[Column which defines the granualrity of your visual] with the right values.

 

Best regards

Michael

Hi @NewbieJono ,

 

In addition to Mikelytics's reply, I suggest you to try SUMX() based on [Ratio Day's Old] measure, if his code doesn't work.

Ratio Day's Old = 
SUMX(
   'Table'[Column which defines the granualrity of your visual],
   [Ratio Day's Old]
)
