Please check the count also, Right-click on the measure in the visual pane and change Agg to count. Are rows matching?

 

Can you share sample data. If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.Thanks.

What do you mean Agg?

It is set at Sum.

The actual sum is correct but it is not correct for the actual categories. 

its like it is not picking up all the sales for each category, for example the sales should be at 10000 euros, it is only showing 3000 euros. 

As a first step. Check the count of rows in powerbi to ensure all rows are loaded.

If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.Thanks.

Hello

 

I realised that alot of the rows are missing.

Please see screenshot how some of the ID codes are missing.

Sorry for not sharing the file, its just that the data (numbers) it self is sensitive.

here is a clearer example and comparison between the excel data and PBI data.

As you can see the data in yellow is missing and the ones in green are appearing on PBI.

I have no filters or anything. I literarly, just selected table as visualisation and selected sales and service name.

See screenshot:

hi  @mehdibentorkia 

From the screenshot, we could just guess that data is missing or data is filtered. we need more information about it.

since your data is sensitive, i would suggest you submit a support ticket to get further help from power bi support.

I did not filter anything.

the data is clearly missing but it is on the excel sheet as per the screenshot so why doesn't it appear on power bi.

hi  @mehdibentorkia 

The screenshot is not found.
