Summing a column... sum is on every line!

Why does this happen?

 

I want the total for a column.  In the visualizations panel, in the field, I click "sum".  This does sum the field, but it puts the total ON EVERY LINE!  I don't want it on every line, of course.

 

I am summing several columns on this report, but this is the only column that behaves this way.  All of the other columns look fine.  what is the deal?  How do I fix this?

@Anonymous , This is a table join issue. The table you are using is not joined with one of the tables used to group by (Don't Summarize) column

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Agree with @amitchandak .

 

It seems that the table with column ringe$ does not have a relationship with other table with the columns in the visual.

You may create the relationships. Please kindly refer to

Create and manage relationships in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao
