totals/rollup of a measure

[Kpham]

Hello Community,

I need your help. I'm trying to make a measure that compares two values on item level and dependent business rules we decide which value to use . On item level I got the right amount, but the total of the column is not correct. The items rollup to a header and also this total is not what I expect to be. How can I improve the syntax so the rollup/totals will show the expected amount

ETC Engineering Costs = IF (
    CONTAINS ( 'PS ProjectResults', [ETC ENG Flag], "X" ),
    [ACT Engineering Costs To be delivered],
    IF (
        [ACT Engineering Costs To be delivered] > [PLAN Engineering Costs To be delivered],
        [ACT Engineering Costs To be delivered],
        [PLAN Engineering Costs To be delivered]
    )
)

ACT Engineering Costs To be delivered = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'PS ProjectResults'[Engineering Costs] ),
        FILTER (
        'PS ProjectResults',
        'PS ProjectResults'[Value Type Description] = "Actual")
    )



PLAN Engineering Costs To be delivered = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'PS ProjectResults'[Engineering Costs] ),
        FILTER (
        'PS ProjectResults',
        'PS ProjectResults'[Value Type Description] = "Plan")
    )

@Kpham This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://com...
