Dears,
i need help please.
I have the graph, which is the result of counting open and answered calls per week.
but at the end I would like to add the grand total with the sum of the selected weeks.
example week 23,24,25,26,27 in excel below:
I already followed the steps in this link

Hi @gustavoluis ,
I originally proposed a disconnected table but after checking on your pbix, I've decided to skip that. I've also modified the formula for the calculated table to account for the week column being a number while "Total" is a text string. Please refer to this pbix - https://drive.google.com/file/d/14CXYQUEz94fIZStO1TUk7j9mNGJ8seYL/view?usp=sharing

Hi @gustavoluis ,
For this, you would have to make use a disconnected (no relationship with Facts/Dimension tables) table that contains all the unique items in a column (week number, etc) plus another row for Total and use that column in a visual.
Sample calculated table to create a disconnected table.
Categories with total =
VAR __CAT =
ADDCOLUMNS ( DISTINCT ( Data[Category] ), "Sort", BLANK () )
VAR __TOTAL =
ROW ( "Category", "Total", "Sort", 10 )
//Sort column to be used to sort the Category column by where Total is the last one in ascending order. The rest are sorted alphabetically.
RETURN
UNION ( __CAT, __TOTAL )
Sample measure to include the total.
Sum of Value with total =
VAR __CAT =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Categories with total'[Category] )
VAR __TOTAL =
CALCULATE ( [Sum of Value], ALLSELECTED ( Data[Category] ) )
RETURN
IF (
__CAT = "Total",
__TOTAL,
CALCULATE (
[Sum of Value],
Data[Category] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Categories with total'[Category] )
)
)
sample result
sample pbix
