Incorrect Totals for Measured Column

[Celliott04]

I am currently creating a report that shows a cost of goods, rebated cost of goods, and true cost of goods column. The picture posted below shows the measure I created for the true cost of goods. However, the totals for the column are way off. Is there an issue with the measure I created that would be causing this problem? The totals at the bottom should be closer to the $400,000 mark and not the $152 million it is currently showing.

@Celliott04 whatever columns you have on the rows, put that in the summarize:

rue Cost =
SUMX (
SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Column1 On Row], Table[Column 2 Row], 
"@Cost", IF (
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
),
[@cost]
)

I attempted to use that DAX expression below and I was getting the error, "Too few arguments were passed to the SUMX function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2."

True Cost = SUMX (

SUMMARIZE ( p21_view_invoice_line, p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount], p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped],

"@Cost", IF (

p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,

SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),

p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]

),

[@Cost]

))

I also put that expression into DAX formatter and was getting a syntax error. I have included that as well.

Hi @Celliott04 ,

I think [other_cost x qty_shipped] should be a measure, due to you can use it directly in your IF code.

I update your code, please try this.

True Cost 1= 
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        p21_view_invoice_line,
        p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount],
        "other_cost x qty_shipped", [other_cost x qty_shipped],
        "@Cost",
            IF (
                p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
                SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
                p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
            )
    ),
    [@Cost]
)

In my sample it works. Result is as below.

You can download my sample for more details.

Here is the measure that I am using for the column. 

True Cost =
IF (
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped] = 0,
SELECTEDVALUE ( p21_view_invoice_line[cogs_amount] ),
p21_view_invoice_line[other_cost x qty_shipped]
)

Both of these fields are from the same table p21_view_invoice_line

Is this all you need @parry2k ? 

[parry2k]

@Celliott04 you need to share the DAX measure expression you are using, and how the tables are connected.
