Total of Absolute measure is not returning Absolute sum of values

[majdkaid22]

Hi guys,

Am stuck getting AbS function to give me the result am looking for. 

I need the total for Exposure $ AbS to give me the Absolute sum of all the values in the column= 

$1,011,908,128

CCY	Exposure $	Exposure $ AbS
USD	$408,960,847	$408,960,847
AUD	$79,943,739	$79,943,739
CAD	$71,285,559	$71,285,559
CHF	($33,703,177)	$94,672,286
XAU	($37,513,819)	$37,513,819
JPY	($64,185,207)	$64,185,207
NZD	($74,873,822)	$11,258,328
GBP	($137,427,513)	$29,208,447
EUR	($214,879,896)	$214,879,896
Total	($2,393,289)	$2,393,289

I know this may be a little trick I have to add, but am not getting there...

Appreciate if anyone could help

Exposure $ AbS = ABS([Exposure $])

Exposure $ = CALCULATE(
    SUM('Open Trades'[Base USD])
     + 
     CALCULATE(
         SUM('Open Trades'[Quote USD]),
         USERELATIONSHIP(CCY[CCY],'Open Trades'[Quote CCY])))

Hi @majdkaid22,

it is a common total level issue of measure, I'd like to suggest you take a look at following link:

Measure Totals, The Final Word

You can also try to use following measure if it works for your requirement:

Measure =
VAR list =
    VALUES ( CCY[CCY] )
VAR summary =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( CCY ),
        CCY[CCY],
        "Exposure $ abs", ABS ( [Exposure $] )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( summary, [CCY] IN list ), [Exposure $ abs] )

@Anonymous Your formula did the trick. Now, I need to understand how/why it worked!

Thanks for sharing the earlier post. quite helpful!
