Total not adding up in Matrix Visual
Im new to Power Bi and im having trouble with the Matrix Col adding up to the correct totals. I think I need a HASONEFILETR calc but im not sure how to do it.
I have 3 tables
- Assignments – This is where the item qty is.
- Resource – This is where the item name and size is, and where the measure below is located.
- Task – This is where the date info is.
Any help would be appreciated.
AssignmentMaterialWork x PowerW =
(SUM('Assignments'[AssignmentMaterialWork]) * SUM('ResourceData'[PowerW])/1000)
This is probably an order of operations issue. Sum then Multiply will not produce the same answer as Multiply then Sum.
So I think the following might fix your issue:
AssignmentMaterialWork x PowerW =
(SUMX('Assignments', 'Assignments'[AssignmentMaterialWork] * (RELATED('ResourceData'[PowerW])/1000))

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
