SumX on the table

I'm trying to do something I thought would be simple, but it's not working.

I have a column involving defective products that need to be returned. The column is "Number of line items to return", depending on the item.

I can get the Number of line items to return column to display the correct value ONLY by selecting "do not summarize" in the field settings.... otherwise, it displays the incorrect values (4 in this case).

I thought that by using a SUMX function, I could get the correct row level amount..... but it also says 4... when I should say 1.

My goal, besides having the right amount at row level, is also to have a total at the bottom... that is not currently happening in the column that shows the correct quantity value. So my goal, again, would be to have a column that shows the correct row level value, and also a correct total at the bottom.

SumX Qty to Return - SUMX ( Merge1, CALCULATE ( SUM ( Merge1[RMA Item Item Qty To Return])))

    Anonymous ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

    To me, it seems you are creating a column not measure like

    SumX Qty to Return = SUMX ( Merge1, Merge1[RMA Item Item Qty To Return])

    SumX Qty to Return = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Merge1[RMA Item Item Qty To Return]))
