Summarize multiple variables
Hi,
I need to calculate the standard hours per MFG_ORDER_NAME. This calculated value per individual line is OK, but the sum is incorrect. I tried summarize function but I need help ons this.
For HRS_STANDARD I calculated two variables, insteltijd and produktietijd. When I add those two at the return function, the calculation at line level is correct, however the total is incorrect. I tried SUMX(SUMMARIZE but I cannot select the two calculated variables when doing so. Can anyone help with the correct syntax?
I would probably go with something like:
Measure Total = VAR __table = SUMMARIZE('Table',[MFG_ORDER_NAME],[DEPARTMENT],[BASIS],"__hrsStandard",[HRS STANDARD]) VAR __total = SUMX(__table,[__hrsStandard]) RETURN IF(HASONEVALUE([DEPARTMENT]),[HRS STANDARD],__total)You may have to modify the SUMMARIZE.

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Hi,
Write this additional measure and drag this to the Table visual
=IF(HASONEVALUE(MFG_ORDER_NAME),[HRS_STANDARD],SUMX(SUMMARIZE(VALUES([MFG_ORDER_NAME]),[MFG_ORDER_NAME],"ABCD",[HRS_STANDARD]),[ABCD]))
Hope this helps.

Hi Ashish,
Tried following extra measure and dragged it into the visual. Still total is incorrect

Hi,
Share the link from where i can download your PBI file. Also, show the expected result in a tet box there.
