Getting 0 for grand total on a created Measure
Hello Everyone,
I feel like this is an easy fix but im abselutely stumped.....
I have seen a couple of forums for items similar to this but they were slightly different/specific and i wasnt sure how to work those methods into my situation.
I have created a couple of measures.
1. is to caclualte Points times Qty of items.
While these formula gave me proper results in the view i dont get a grand total for the view it just says 0
This is where i cant seem to figure out how to get Grand Totals. Please Help =]
Solved! Go to Solution.

Good Morning Everyone,
Thank you for your feedback and assistance on this one.
Just wanted to give a shout out to @tamerj1 .
I found an old post he was on and the solution below worked perfectly for what i was needing.
I was able to multiple 2 columns from different tables and get grand totals for my new field categories.
Thought i would share it in case it can help anyone else in the future. Thanks again!
NewMeasure = SUMX ( Table1, VAR Name = Table1[Name] VAR Value1 = Table1[Value] VAR Value2 = MAXX ( FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Name] = Name ), Table2[Value] ) RETURN Value1 * Value2 )

Please see this video. You'll need to use SUMX with VALUES or SUMMARIZE in your measure.
