TOTAL not working

Hi Everyone,

Total is not working for my Last Year measure.I've attached snip for the reference.
Individual values are correct but in Totals the value is wrong.

 

Sales LY Week =
VAR LY =Calculate( [Sales]
 ,Filter(ALL('Calender'), 'Calender'[DWY] = Max( 'Calender'[DWY])-1 && 'Calender'[Region]=MAX('Calender'[Region])))
RETURN
LY

 

 

 

Thanks!!

    Hi Anonymous ,

    How did you set your matrix visual? Could you please share the Fields setting? You can create another new measure as below and put this new measure to replace the original measure [Sales LY Week] onto the matrix visual. Later check if it can return the correct total values...

    New Measure =
SUMX (
    GROUPBY (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Region],  //The field from Rows field of your matrix
        'Table'[fieldname],//The field from Rows field of your matrix
        'Table'[Category] //The field from Rows field of your matrix
    ),
    [Sales LY Week]
)

    In addition, you can refer the following links to try to solve your problem...

    If the above one can't help you, could you please provide more raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

    And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

      Why do you have a Region column in the Calendar table? Looks very uncommon from the begin with and it might be recommended to reqrite the measure in genereal. But hard to say without knowing the whole datamodel.

       

      Can you please try the following.

      Sales LY Week =
VAR LY =
SUMX(
   VALUES('Calender'[Region]),
   CALCULATE( 
     [Sales]
     ,Filter(ALL('Calender'), 'Calender'[DWY] = Max( 'Calender'[DWY])-1 && 'Calender'[Region]=MAX('Calender'[Region]))
   )
)
RETURN
LY

       

      If this does not work then please share the general setup with sample data so that we might be able to build it propertly from the beginning.

       

      Best regards
      Michael

        Hi Mike,

         

        Above measure is not working .Actually every region has it own calendar to calculate LY Sales, which based upon Week number and Day of Week. I have appended all region calendar into one calendar and created below keys .Please check below model.

         

         

        uae datekey =
        'Data Set'[accountingDate]&'Data Set'[region]
        uae key =
        'Calender'[Date]  & 'Calender'[Region]
         
        Last Year sales values are comming correct , just Total is not is incorrect
