How to prevent summing up values of sub categories in matrix visual

 

In a matrix visual, if we drill up, the values for the sub categories are summed up for the larger category. However, this may not always be accurate for the larger category.

How do I prevent the summing up of these values of the sub categories?

I want to display the values for the subcategories and instead of summing up these values after drilling up, I want to  display the values for the larger category  by calculating based on the parameters for the larger category.

Please note that the value is a measure and it is being displayed in a matrix visual.

 

Thanks in Advance.

Matrices that use measures for values in PowerBI automatically recalculate the measure based on the current context for subtotal/total rows.  

 

What is the measure being used that you want aggregated differently based on the scope level? 

 

Also, if you could share a screenshot of the matrix and identify which totals are good and which are bad, that would help.

If it recalculates the measure based on the current context for subtotal/total rows, my doubt is solved.

Thanks!
