Sum of values from a table not correct. Sometimes doubling the true sum?

Hello all. Im running into a problem when creating a pareto that works off data from a table on the same power BI screen. Please look at the attached screenshot. I have selected one employee (their name is redacted in green, all other employee names are redacted in black) and I see that they worked 2 hours of overtime (no pay period is selected so this is across all pay periods). When I look down at the pareto, I see the sum of his overtime hours is 4 hours, when it should clearly be 2 hours. Some of the other sums in the pareto are correct. When I export the table to excel, the sums are always correct. Can anybody help me figure out why my pareto is not producing the correct values?

 

Thank you!

Hi @leadacid ,

 

Is the calculatio a simple sum or are you doing a different calculation on your pareto?

 

Can you please share a mockup data or sample of your PBIX file. You can use a onedrive, google drive, we transfer or similar link to upload your files.

If the information is sensitive please share it trough private message.


Regards
