Table is not calculating totals correctly

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I have a minor problem with my measures. I am currently using two measures that are just simple sums from a table. These are then subtracted which will either give me a positive or negative number. I want to sum all the positive numbers, which I have done, but currently, the total is not working properly, as seen below. 

Unanswered Requests= IF(([Allocated Hours]-[Requested Hours])<=0, [Requested Hours]-[Allocated Hours],0)

As you can see the total is 0 when it should be 358.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mind sharing your .pbix file?
I need to check your data model and the formula of [Requested Hours] and [Allocated Hours].

Or refer to the link .

Hi Lionel, 

Can't share the file, but the two measures are just sums of two different columns in the same table.

Hi @Anonymous ,

This problem is very common, but I can not analyze the problem without sample data and formulas. Try to refer to the similar case.

Total is wrong

@Anonymous ,

I tried to replica your scenario at my end. I have created Measure for Unanswered Requested and getting correct result as per input.

Thanks for the reply!

Using your calculation I actually get a total, but it seems to ignore filters and just sum everything?

@Anonymous ,

You have try like

Unanswered Requests= sumx(values(Table[?] ),IF(([Allocated Hours]-[Requested Hours])<=0, [Requested Hours]-[Allocated Hours],0))

where "?" is the column you are grouping on.

example

Unanswered Requests= sumx(values(Table[user]),IF(([Allocated Hours]-[Requested Hours])<=0, [Requested Hours]-[Allocated Hours],0))

The problem is that the I cant just sum 1 column as I want the difference between two columns
