Dax measure not returning the correct aggregate result

[sivarajan21]

Hi,

I created this measure shown below that returns a table with correct row values:

But the aggregate total -3036.53 is not correct  and correct total we need is -1145.19.

Could you please help me as what needs to be corrected in the above measure for the correct total?

PFA file here Portfolio Performance - v2.12 - Copy (2).pbix

Thanks in advance!

Try it using TOPN instead.

Budget Carbon Variance Bottom 20 v2 = 
 VAR _TopN = TOPN(10,ALL(Contacts[Name]),[Budget Carbon Variance],ASC)
  RETURN
CALCULATE([Budget Carbon Variance],KEEPFILTERS(_TopN))

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

@sivarajan21 ,

I am unable to download the file, but please refer to these two videos. They should help you understand the context behind the Grand Total issue and its solution.
