Hi all,
I have created an measure to calculate the headcount monthly based on data range criterias, for each month the result is correct. However when I display the figures in a table split by month the total is wrong.
The return from PBI
| Month | HC_month |
| jan | 505 |
| fev | 505 |
| mar | 498 |
| abr | 519 |
| mai | 515 |
| jun | 516 |
| jul | 521 |
| ago | 534 |
| set | 559 |
| out | 555 |
| nov | 568 |
| dez | 565 |
| TOTAL | 5919 |
The right amount for the total should be
| Month | HC_month |
| jan | 505 |
| fev | 505 |
| mar | 498 |
| abr | 519 |
| mai | 515 |
| jun | 516 |
| jul | 521 |
| ago | 534 |
| set | 559 |
| out | 555 |
| nov | 568 |
| dez | 565 |
| TOTAL | 6360 |
That's my measure code
HC_MONTH = COUNTROWS(
FILTER(Payroll,
(Payroll[Payroll nb]<>376)&& (Payroll[Payroll nb]<>377)&& (Payroll[Payroll nb]<>445) //exclude 3 specifics employees Expat
&&'Payroll'[Most Recent Hire Date] <= MAX (Calendar[Date])
&& (ISBLANK ('Payroll'[Administrative End Date]) || 'Payroll'[Administrative End Date] >= MAX (Calendar[Date]))
)
)
Any thought that what is wrong on my measure code, or how can I improve it ?
I have attached an example of the worksheet that is feeding my database on PowerBI. Example
Solved! Go to Solution.

Change your formula to this one:
HC_MONTH =
SUMX (
VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Month Name] ),
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
Payroll,
( Payroll[Payroll nb] <> 376 )
&& ( Payroll[Payroll nb] <> 377 )
&& ( Payroll[Payroll nb] <> 445 ) //exclude 3 specifics employees Expat
&& 'Payroll'[Most Recent Hire Date] <= MAX ( Calendar[Date] )
&& (
ISBLANK ( 'Payroll'[Administrative End Date] )
|| 'Payroll'[Administrative End Date] >= MAX ( Calendar[Date] )
)
)
)
)
)
