Incorrect totals in Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have come across a scenario where the total's are showing  incorrectly , it does not show the sum of values. 

Data is as below:

The measure field I am using is 

Average  # of Business Days = sum(Query2[Derived # of Business Days])/DISTINCTCOUNT(Query2[Submission Number])

But the total is showing as different , 3.88+20.23+14.65=38.76 but I get 36.70 as the result.

Can someone please let me know the issue and how to fix this.

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous 

I am pretty sure that this happens because [submission number] is not unique. You can verify this by creating two measures:

[distinct submission number] = distinctcount([submission number])
[sum business days] = sum([Derived # of Business Days])

and add these two measures to your table. Then you will see which numbers goes into calculating your average value at each row and at the total

Cheers,
Sturla

Hi @sturlaws 

Yes, the submission numbers are not unique, but is there a way to have the totals match up. Below is the data with the two new meausures as suggested.  only the average measure is mismatching.

yes, you can use sumx:

new measure =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE ( Query2, [Review category], [Pre-review/IRB review] ),
    [Average # of business days]
)
