When Sum Formula goes wrong

Hello, how are you?

 

I have a small problem with a formula.

 

I have a slightly extended base on which I am performing a margin test, everything was fine until I tried the following formula:

 

i.Margin = sumx ('Final ad base', 'Final ad base' [i.cmvv] + 'Final ad base' [i.vendas])

 

the result was this:

Clearly the result should not be this, could someone help me fix and explain what went wrong with the formula?

 

Best Regards

Hi,

If i.cmvv and i.vendas are columns (and not measures) in the Final ad base table, then this measure should work

='Final ad base' [i.cmvv] + 'Final ad base' [i.vendas]

Hope this helps.

Hi Ashish thanks for the answer!

 

Ok, i tried it and the result is the same, pretty strange no?

Is your Fam_Item column on the same table with the columns you are SUMming?  If not, what is the relationship between them?

Yes, is the same file, it's only one base.

 

Farm_item is a classification of the items:

CMV another column with values;

R$ total is another column with values.

 

i tried sumx with calculate, tried also create a new column with SUMX Farm_item, tried do just the sum and still not working.

Hi, @Sergiocampos 

What is your expected result?

Can you show the value of the column'Final ad base' [i.vendas] in the screenshot?

In addition, please check if there is something wrong with the format of the measure i.Margin.
