Total column matrix are incorrect

Hello muchtamo ,

You would need to create 3 measures as follows:

Total Actuals =
   CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact'[actual] ) )

Total Plan = 
   CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact'[plan] )

Total Monthly Forecast = 
VAR ActualSum = [Total Actuals]
VAR PlanSum = [Total Plan]
RETURN
IF (
    ActualSum  = 0,
    SUMX (
        'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact',
        [Total Plan]
    ),
    SUMX (
        VALUES ( 'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact' ),
        [Total Actuals]
    )
)

And then plot the last measure in the chart and see the results.
Please let me know if this didn't work.

Hi muchtamo ,

We usually use the SUMX function or the HASONEVALUE function to solve the problem of incorrect matrix Subtotals.

Try this

Total Actuals =
SUM ( 'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact'[actual] ) 

Total Plan = 
SUM ( 'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact'[plan] )

Forecast1  = 
IF (
     [Total Actuals] = 0,
    SUMX (
        'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact',
        [Total Plan]
    ),
    SUMX (
         'dbprojects tbl_t_project_impact' ,
        [Total Actuals]
    )
)
