Total for customerMax field
Hello,
I need help to get in below matrix Total for customerMax field by adding all the values in that field,but right now it is giving me max value in that column(as I am considering max value in the entire field ,total is also showing max value) which is not what I need.I need to add all the max values of customermax and show it in the total field.
As shown below Total should be
| 1275000 |
Thanks..
Hi,
This DAX measure pattern should work
Measure = SUMX(VALUES(Data[Row field]),[Max_measure])

Hi csb
Try using below dax measure for total sum of all the values:
CustomerMaxSum =
SUMX(
VALUES('Table'[Customer]),
CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Value]))
)

Hi csb
In Power BI, the total row in a matrix doesn't work like in Excel. It doesn't just add the numbers shown above — it recalculates the same expression (like MAX) in a broader context, ignoring row-level filters.
That's why you're seeing only 700,000 in the total for Max of CustomerMax. Power BI is calculating the overall MAX across all divisions, instead of summing each division's MAX.
To fix this, you need a DAX measure that behaves differently in row vs. total:
DAX
CustomerMaxFixed :=
IF(
ISINSCOPE('YourTable'[Division_Code]),
MAX('YourTable'[CustomerMax]),
SUMX(
VALUES('YourTable'[Division_Code]),
CALCULATE(MAX('YourTable'[CustomerMax]))
)
)Replace 'YourTable' with your actual table name.
Show the sum of those max values in the total row — which is what you expect (1,275,000).
