HI @Anonymous ,

It seems like a common measure total calculates issue, it will appear when you apply multiple aggregations on measure formula. For this scenario, I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following blog about measure total calculations:

Can you share some sample data to test? But if you are multiple. You should prefer sum(a*b) over sum(a)*sum(b)
