Trial Balance Total Incorrect

Totals should be  1,177,009.73Totals should be 1,177,009.73

 

I want the total of my Trial Balance to equal the displayed line values.  The problem is that the displayed line values are sorted to Dr or Cr based on their SUMMARY level sign, positive is Dr, negative is Cr.  I have tried 4 different calculations and the best is this one but the part in red is not calculating the total correctly:

 

TB. Cr S1 = IF (
    HASONEVALUE (xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[FMS-iFAMS GL]),
        if(sum(xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[Amount])<0, -sum(xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[Amount])),
            sumx( all(xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[FMS-iFAMS GL]),-sum(xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[Amount]))       
)

Solved it! Thanks to Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word Measure total basics.  The correct calculation shows up circled in blue below.  Any problems with this solution?

 

TB. Dr Var =
VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE( xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19, [FMS-iFAMS GL], "TB Total", [TB. Dr S1])

Return
SWITCH(True(),
    HASONEVALUE( xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[FMS-iFAMS GL]),[TB. Dr S1],
    sumx(__Table, [TB Total])
)TB Calculation problem Fixed.PNG

Hi @PeterRLC ,

From the information you provided, I could only get the output like this.

If it is convenient, could you share your data sample which could reproduce the scenario as table format and your desired output so that we could give further advice on it?

Best  Regards,

Yes, here is the original amount column.  I want to sort negatives to the credit column and positives to the debit column.

Is it possibly a memory hog?  And what would the solution be for that?

 

Also tried: (Calculates correctly but also runs out of memory)

TB. Ending Balance Dr =
if(
HASONEVALUE( xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19[FMS-iFAMS GL]),[TB. Dr S1],
sumx(SUMMARIZE( xFMS_iFAMS_Base_Journal_FY19, [FMS-iFAMS GL], "TB Total", [TB. Dr S1]), [TB Total])
)
