SUM

Hello, 

I find it odd that 

when I use the fomula: Total of Initial & Ext = SUM('DAC datasource'[Initial Total])+SUM('DAC datasource'[Ext Increase])

The total shows :

Then I take SUM off :  Total of Initial & Ext = 'DAC datasource'[Initial Total]+'DAC datasource'[Ext Increase]

It gave me correct sum :

I would've thought both should return the same result or is it I misunderstood SUM function. Hope you could help me clarify.

 

Ps There is no filter applied so no hidden rows. 

 

Many thanks in advance,

Anna

Hi @AnnaFenton

 

Power BI removes duplicate rows from a table visual by default. This is due to Power BI being a aggragation tool. You may refer to below picture.

You may try to add index column to provide the uniqueness of rows.
