column to add measures together then subtract by a number

I can get the 3 measures to add up correctly but then when I try to subtract that number by another number, the math doesn't wortk

 

Attendance Score = (WFT[Call Off]*1.5)+(WFT[Leave Early]*0.5)+(WFT[Late/LB]*0.5)
This equals 16 for one of my employees as it should
 
Attendance Score = 40-((WFT[Call Off]*1.5)+(WFT[Leave Early]*0.5)+(WFT[Late/LB]*0.5))
This on the other hands does not subtract 16 from 40.  Instead of 24, I get 624
 
Any ideas?  This works in excel so I'm sure I'm using the wrong syntax

@Anonymous , I am sure these are measure and you created a measure like this

40-(([Call Off]*1.5)+([Leave Early]*0.5)+([Late/LB]*0.5))

 

hope the Attendance Score is not a new column

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

That worked!

 

Last question for now.  To get an overall score, I need to add up several measures from different tables.  One problem I'm having is one of the items I need to include is a calculated column (it's a logical statement column) and my measure doesn't see it.  Is there a way that a Measure can see a calculated column?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

It's really hard to reproduce your senario just based on your description,as you see below:

 

Measure 3 = 20-'Table'[Measure 2]-'Table (2)'[Measure]

 

Measure 2 is  a measure including a calculated column;

But all work fine:

My goal is this:

 

Final Measure =  measure1 + measure2 + calculated column

 

My measure doesn't see the calculated column - in Red below

Final Rank = Phone[Phone Rank] + Attendance[Attendance Ranking Score] + ('Employee DB')[Tenure Score]
