Advocate VReport builder measure issue
Hi, Peter_23
As you described, there are many duplications in expressions and measures. Since the total is added after loading the dataset into the report builder and then creating a new visual object, some expressions cannot be avoided.
I think this is because of two different products. At first, it was dedicated to paginated reports and served SQL Server Reporting Service. At that time, expressions were used, which was a long time ago. In recent years, it has developed into Power BI Report Server, which integrates Power BI's semantic model and other functions into it. This is also the current preview stage.
As recommended, complete the writing of measures in the semantic model as much as possible, and then present the data in Power BI Report Builder.

Advocate VThanks Anonymous thanks
The SM is actually in the service so the live connection is it.
When you said:
"You can only use expressions in Power BI Report builder, not measures (except in the case of connections to semantic models or SSAS)."
I could be use or could be not? (Measures)
Hi, Peter_23
Thank you very much for your reply. If you're connecting to a semantic model in the service in real time, you can use measure.
You need to write the relevant measure in your semantic model and then connect it.

Thanks Anonymous Yes, It is. but I trying to add grand total, so the sum(measure) don't have a correct value because it's division function, so which aggregation should be for grand total?
thanks in advance.
Hi, Peter_23
Based on your description, I created a tablix:
This results in the correct summing of the measures:

Anonymous thanks for example, the sum are OK. Orders =40 and Stock 230, the measure are incorrect 40 / 230 = 0.173913043 , not 0.376... (totals) is the same issue I'm having too.
