table doesnt sum correctly

hi, I have a quick question. I have one table with the average measure for different components. I add 50 if the value is blank.

However the total doesnt sum it correctly. Could anyone please advice why 50 is not included? I would really apprecaite any help

Hi @munchkin666 
Your scenario is much more complex than regular total problems because you want to include values of groups that don't in the filtered period.
You will need 2 measures :
1. Kind of prepartion

 

TotalValue2022 =
VAR GroupsIn2022 = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('table', YEAR('table'[Date]) = 2022), 'table'[Group])
VAR AllGroups = VALUES('table'[Group])
VAR GroupsNotIn2022 = EXCEPT(AllGroups, GroupsIn2022)
VAR ResultTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        AllGroups,
        "Value2022",
        IF(
            COUNTROWS(FILTER(GroupsIn2022, 'table'[Group] = [Group])) > 0,
            IF([Group] = "Other", 50, SUMX(FILTER('table', 'table'[Group] = [Group] && YEAR('table'[Date]) = 2022), 'table'[Value])/12),
            50
        )
    )
RETURN
SUMX(ResultTable, [Value2022])
2. To put on the table :
TotalValueByGroup = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('table', 'table'[Group], "TotalValue", [TotalValue2022]), [TotalValue])

Don't ask how I did it; I'm not sure that I can explain, and luck did its work here too. 🙂

Hi  @munchkin666
Total in power bi doesn't summarize the visible values automatically.
You need to fix it "manually".Please refer to the linked tutorials :

I answered a few days ago to question  with a similar scenario including a sample pbix You can take a look here:

@Ritaf1983  I am unable to add it, it keeps coming bakc with "your post has been changed because invalid html was found in the message body. the invalid html has been removed. please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied.". I have tried to split the table, but its too big. Basically, I have lets say 3 groups:A,B,C. Group B didint have any data for 2022, but started to receive it in 2023. I did a calullation IF(ISBLANK(Result),50, Result/12). But for some reasons, PowerBI doesnt want to sum it in the totals. It only sums up A and B, although C (50) is listed there 😞

Hi @munchkin666 
Just save it in onedrive/wetransfer/dropbox/something else and share via link.

I think I'm having a similar thing happen with a more basic example. My matrix column total is displaying one less than if I manually add the column values. I will be posting my example as well.
