Wrong Total with DAX Measure

 I have a DAX Measure to calculate the total revenue for each week. I am not getting the correct total from the measure.

I checked the weekly values and they are correct but the total is not correct.

I also put the same measure in a card visual still the total is wrong.

 

 

Total =
VAR _thisyear =
    YEAR ( [Today] )
VAR _currentweek =
    WEEKNUM ( [Today] ) 
VAR _minweek =
    CALCULATE (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FactRevenue,
            "Min Date lY", CALCULATE ( MIN ( FactRevenue[weeknum] ) )
        ),
        FILTER ( DimCalendar, DimCalendar[CalendarYear] = _thisyear - 1 )
    )
VAR _total =
    SUMX (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FactRevenue,
            FactRevenue[CalendarWeekKey],
            "Revenue YTD", CALCULATE (
                SUM ( FactRevenue[Revenue] ),
                FILTER (
                    DimCalendar,
                    DimCalendar[CalendarWeekNumber] <= _currentweek
                ),
                FILTER ( DimCalendar, DimCalendar[CalendarYear] = _thisyear ),
                FILTER (
                    DimCalendar,
                    DimCalendar[CalendarWeekNumber] >= _minweek
                ),
                GROUPBY ( Branch, Branch[Branch] )
            )
        ),
        [Revenue YTD]
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( _total ), BLANK (), _total )

@db1Intermtn It's because the total doesn't sum the individual values but applies the same logic as your measure to the entire context you're in. 
I'm just curious why you have such a complex logic since the measure is not a running total. 

You should be just fine with a proper calendar table and a simple SUM measure. 
Then you'd just put the weeknum field and the measure in your visual and you should be fine.

simple SUM measure doesn't work for me in this case because here I am calculating the YTD values for each branch but there is a condition that YTD should be calculated from the same week since when the data is available for that branch from last year.

 

If branch A has data from week 3 of 2019, my measure calculates YTD for that branch for 2020 from week 3 and not from week 1. 

 

Any way I can get the correct total here with my measure?

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
