Zebra BI combo chart grand total column does not show second measure

I have sales data per month shown on Zebra BI combo chart with current and last year data. For values where I placed current year sales data I also have second measure for gross margin %.

 

When I turn on Grand Total column to display running total YTD it only displays sales data but not GM%. Is there any way I can also present YTD GM% together with sales data in Grand Total column? Doesn't seem to work out of the box.  Currently it shows GM% for each month but not in Grand Total column.

 

Thanks!

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenraio. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

You may create measures as below.

Sales Measure = SUM('Table'[Sales])
GM% Measure = 
DIVIDE(
    SUM('Table'[Sales])-SUM('Table'[Cost]),
    SUM('Table'[Cost])
)
Sales YTD = 
var st = 
CALCULATE(
    MIN('Table'[YearMonth]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        [Year] in DISTINCT('Table'[Year])
    )
)
return
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Sales]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        [YearMonth]>=st&&
        [YearMonth]<=MAX('Table'[YearMonth])
    )
)
GM% YTD = 
var st = 
CALCULATE(
    MIN('Table'[YearMonth]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        [Year] in DISTINCT('Table'[Year])
    )
)
return
SUMX(
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        [YearMonth]>=st&&
        [YearMonth]<=MAX('Table'[YearMonth])
    ),
    DIVIDE(
        [Sales]-[Cost],
        [Cost]
    )
)
