Total not match with value

[RajK2]

I've list in table visual

the actual total is 90 wheras its showing 100 due to i created measures.

if Banana then take value from different column and rest are same so i assign measure so its working all rows as total not giving right value as 90. how do we create measures in "Total" dynamic values based all rows total.

Desc       Quarter1

Apple      10

Banana    20

orange    20

Mango    40

Total      100

Hi @RajK2 ,

Base on your description, it seems like you created the following measure. However, the total value is not correct.

VAR _period = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Qtr-Yr])

RETURN

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

SELECTEDVALUE('Region Table'[Region])="Denmark",

CALCULATE(SUM( 'Data'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]),
'Data'[Acct FQ]=_period),

CALCULATE(SUM( 'Data'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]),
'Data'[Revenue FQ]=_period))

You can create another new measure as below, and put this new measure to replace your above measure.

New Measure = SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Data'[Desc] ), [your original measure] )

In addition, you can refer the following link to try to solve your problem...

If the above one can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables(exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hi,

This measure pattern should work

Measure = sumx(values(Data[Desc]),[Quarter1])

Hope this helps.

This is Measure applied as "Total" not giving right value as changed summarize /If function as doesn't works

Pls support here.

VAR _period = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Qtr-Yr])

RETURN

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

SELECTEDVALUE('Region Table'[Region])="Denmark",

CALCULATE(SUM( 'Data'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]),
'Data'[Acct FQ]=_period),

CALCULATE(SUM( 'Data'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]),
'Data'[Revenue FQ]=_period))

Create a dummy table i.e Test with below column

Desc      

Apple     

Banana 

orange    

Mango 

Total

Create  a measure 
M1= Switch(SelectedValue([Test]Desc),[yourTablename]Desc, SUM([yourTablename]Quarter,SUM([yourTablename]Quarter)
add [Test]Desc  and M1 in table

Hope this helps
