Calculate Measure not returning proper sum

Hello,

I am attempting to create a measure that will return the sum of a few calculated measures (sourced from different tables). I have a simple Calculate function does return the correct average but i can't seem to get the sum to work. I also use a few measure on measure on measures to get to this point:

 

Measure_PTI = DIVIDE(([M_MeasurementTotal]-[M_MeasurementDeviation]),[M_MeasurementTotal])
Measure_UserWeight = DIVIDE([M_Users],[M_UsersTotal])
MeasurePTIWeight = [Measure_PTI] * [Measure_UserWeight]

 

MeasurePTIWeightPercent = CALCULATE([M_MeasurePTIWeight])

I have read a few threads and tired different solutions and I am not sure if there is an issue with the formula or if i have other issues like the model not being setup correctly.

This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks! This looks very interesting and i will certainly explore it.

 

Two quick questions I have so far.

1) How does this handle dimensionality across the SuperGroups/Groups?

2) Lets assume that the score in the AttributeScores is a calculated measure, (example 5 users /40 total users), how does that effect the model?
