Stop % from summing in subtotal row

[abloor]

Hi, Can anyone please suggest how to stop a % measure from adding up in a subtotal row?  I want the subtotal row there, but want it to be blank for the List % and Var % columns as pictured, s they are values which can't be summarized.  I'm happy for the Share % subtotal to remain.

**Default Summarization is set to 'Don't Summarize'**

I think the problem is stemming from the source data.  I'm linking to an excel file where there is a percentage in the cell. (I'm not acually doing the maths of dividing one value by another to get a percent. There's no way around this.)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Anna.

@abloor Anna, yes it can be done using ISFILTERED or ISINSCOPE DAX functions. If you can share pbix file with sample data ( remove sensitive info before sharing), I can get you the solution.

Thanks @parry2k   I have saved a sample file here:

@abloor bit confused, there is no var % and other column which you don't want to aggregate? You have to be specific what you want and what your sample pbix contains. Read this post to get your answer quickly.

Sorry I just created generic sample data for the files uploaded and thought the column would be obvious - oops clearly not!

It's the TotalShare% column in my sample that is summing in the subtotal row, and I don't want it to. (In my real file the column that I'm having the issue with is a stand alone column like this one and doesn't link to or feed off any other columns, just like in my sample file.)

Thanks!

@abloor try this measure

TotalShare% = 
IF ( 
ISFILTERED( Table1[Colour] ), 
CALCULATE(SUMX('Table1','Table1'[Share %])) 
)

Thanks @parry2k  I have successfully got it working in my report.

Appreciate your time!!  🙂

Hi @parry2k ,

I'm using your solution for a new matrix now, and I have to filter one of the fields so it's 'not blank'.  This makes the row subtotals show up again, despite your measure having taken it out as expected before I filtered out the blanks.  

Do you think I'd have to factor in this new filtered field into the measure to?

Thanks

For anyone finding this post in future, I worked it out to included another filter of BLANK.

TotalShare% =
IF (
ISFILTERED( Table1[Colour] ) && [Total Revenue] <> BLANK(),
CALCULATE(SUMX('Table1','Table1'[Share %]))
)
