Hello,
I can't solve the total sum issue, can you help?
I am attaching a link to the Power BI file
I will be very grateful for your help in solving the problem.

Solved! Go to Solution.
You are welcome. If my previous reply helped, please mark it as Answer.
Hi,
I created this measure
Measure = if(ISBLANK([Unpaid Amount]),BLANK(),SUMX(VALUES('sales-payments'[Indeksas]),[Unpaid Amount]))
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Rezult blank measure

In the screenshot, as you can see i get the correct result.
Sorry, you are right.
Do you have any ideas why the measure total is showing correctly, but the value in the row for some customers is incorrect?

Hi @Sarutra
What do TRUE and NO TRUE mean? What is your expected result?
Hi @Sarutra ,
The "wrong total" issue in Power BI measures is really common and usually happens because DAX calculates the total differently than the individual rows. Here’s how I’d tackle it:
Use SUMX over VALUES: This ensures your custom calculation runs at the row level for each unique Invoice (or whatever your key field is), and then adds everything up for the total. For example:
Unpaid Amount =
SUMX(
VALUES('sales payments'[Invoice NR]),
[Open Order Total] - [Payments]
)
Add HASONEVALUE logic if needed: If your calculation needs to handle both single rows and totals differently, you can use HASONEVALUE to switch logic, like this:
Unpaid Amount =
IF(
HASONEVALUE('sales payments'[Invoice NR]),
[Open Order Total] - [Payments],
SUMX(
VALUES('sales payments'[Invoice NR]),
[Open Order Total] - [Payments]
)
)
Make sure your tables are joined correctly, and there aren’t any inactive relationships that could mess up the totals. Sometimes creating a quick table with SUMMARIZE or looking at a table visual can help spot why the totals are off. If it’s still not working, feel free to share a sample PBIX file with dummy data. Sometimes it’s something small that’s easy to spot with a real example.
It's not that simple. I am attaching the measure formula.
