Totals in Matrix not adding correctly
Hi all,
I have a matrix with a measure in the value, the data is correct but the column totals are wrong. The measure that's included in the value is as follows:
TotalControls =
DISTINCTCOUNT('FactControlRelations'[Guid])
The table FactControlRelations is a historical table containing multiple instances of the same item with different relations with other tables as well as a date column. I have no idea how to make it correct.
I also have another measure value in the matrix as follows:

I also have another measure value in the matrix as follows:
Δ PM Controls =
VAR delta = [ComparisonTotalControls]
RETURN
IF(delta < 0,
ROUND(delta, 0),
IF(delta > 0,
"+" & ROUND(delta, 0)
)
)
ComparisonTotalControls =
[TotalControls] - [PriorMonthTotalControls]
PriorMonthTotalControls =
CALCULATE(
[TotalControls],
DATEADD('DimDate'[Date], -1, MONTH)
)
Any idea on how to make it work?
