Issue with column totals

I just want to sum a column total and add the column totals of all the 4 columns but Power BI is giving insane totals. I calculated it manually and it is totally different. Please help.

Hi @parry2k 

 

I just want to sum a particular column. I use the below measure bit it is giving the wrong total.

 

Measure = SUM(Eac-Admin)

@Kolumam seems like something is missing here, share following info:

 

- relationship diagram if there are more than one table

- on table visual what columns/measures you had dropped on value section or if you are using other visual, share info about that

Hi @parry2k 

 

It is just a single table which I am fetching from SQL via direct query. There are 4 columns and a date. I just want to add a total of 4 columns. See below image. When I click on "Don't summarize", it is showing the values correctly. See the next image.

When I click on the sum, it is giving the wrong totals.
