Matrix wrong summation

Hi everybody,

I use matrix to display data for products and their sales, the total of orders in the matrix is wrong however when I exported the data from the matrix and get their sum in the excel sheet it was right, where's the issue?!

 

Thanks in advance,

Mai

@Mai_Nashaat This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

sorry I didn't get the point.

I've a simple measure just sum without any filters 

Open order SU sum = SUM('ZSKU SMO'[Column 2])
the total in  the matrix is 11.1 however in the exported data it's 13.14 

@Mai_Nashaat Any chance you can share the PBIX? Do you have any filters on the visual or page or report as a whole?

@Greg_Deckler I can't it is confidential data but I have no filters

I suspect this error caused by table relationship. If you can represent your data model with dummy data and share a sample pbix, we can do more tests to troubleshoot.
