Sending alerts when total value is not matched with the sum of values by category

Good day! Just want to ask, is it possible to send alerts in Power BI everytime the value in total is not matched with the total value by category?

 

Example:

Total Value: 100

By Category:

     A: 25

     B: 30

     C: 40

 

When adding this up, By Category is only 95.

Everytime this happens, we need to send alert to the user.

Thank you! 🙂

Hi @cieloloyyy ,

 

You can create a measure to check if the total equals the sum of individual values. If they are equal result is 0 else 1.

Then put that measure on a card visual and then in PBI service add this visual to a dashboard and then setup alerts that if the value of the card visual is 1 then send the alert.

 

Another way is to use Power Automate, which needs some more configuration than the above mentioned method and I'll have to read up on it, how to set it up.

So try the above method first.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you,
