Total isn't being calculated correctly

nick9one1_0-1667846989348.png


I have this Matrix, built from two tables. 

Category table

nick9one1_1-1667847142906.png

 

related one to many to this table

I need to calculate a score for each category. 

Performance score = ((Points Available - Demerits)/Points Available)*Weighting

I've created measure to calculate this, and each row is correct. But the total is wrong. 

 

 

Demerits = SUM(Submissions[Demerits])

 

 

Points Achieved = SUM('Categories'[cr20b_pointsavailable])-[Demerits]
Weighting = SUM(Categories[cr20b_weighting])
Performance Score = (([Points Achieved]/[Points Available]*[Weighting])/[Weighting])

Hi @nick9one1 ,

Measures are calculated by context, in other words, measure is calculated based on the value of current row.

From your snapshot can see, the result of total is correct in calculation: (145/163*20)/20=88.96%

If you want the total is sum of all rows, try the solution:

Measure =
VAR _T =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( 'Categories', "Column", [Performance Score] )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( [Category Ordered] ),
        [Performance Score],
        SUMX ( _T, [Column] )
    )
