dear can you guide how to join line in line chart if line graph if some month data not available, line shows disconnected chart

[@lukev730]

Ohh Chandeep You have saved our dashboards from this total error. Thank you so much. We will circulate this useful tutorial.

[@groman310]

This was extremely helpful. I spent days looking at our totals in a certain matrix and this method solved the issue. Thank you so much!

[@yoyispao]

Awesome explanation, I was lost on that issue, but now I understand a bit more, thanks!!!😊

[@Torres8631]

Thank you so much for this video. I was struggling with figuring out how to do it when there was a matrix. You made my day!

[@Si_inkart]

thank you, this explanation saved my sanity, had a report published with correct row amounts but overall total was wrong, cheers

You are an amazing teacher🎉

[@loganathannainar4804]

Excellent!!

[@pierre-louisviala3191]

Thanks a lot Chandeep ! As usual : Smart, concise explanation, excellent teacher ! I think that PowerBI is misleading with bottom line called "Total" ; I would prefer instead "All" or even better to let the user define the bottom row header

[@megabuilds3007]

Great, thanks.

[@OneNI83]

Nice,nifty tip on dax studio to convert the value.

Thank you Sir I got a solution from your video and example

[@anushiyag-yl9je]

Super bro... Thanks

[@leoncastro3073]

What a great video, I could not find a better explanation in Spanish. Thank you very much. Is it possible to make examples with averages and that in the totals of the power bi table or matrix the average of everything is shown and not the sum of them. Thanks again, greetings from Colombia.

[@shivanihandore4738]

Thank you so much ❤

[@navisalomi]

This is bananas 🍌. Simply mindblowing 🎉.

[@hopebirdsong2847]

Chandeep, I loved your video. although, I am receiving incorrect totals for the following measure: Notes within Admission = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('TABLE[signature date], FILTER(table, table[admitDate] = table[signatureDate] Is there a way to write the dax code so that it totals the above outcome per row?

[@MoonShine-bs6cl]

Hi awesome explanation, but i have a doubt if you could make a video on the running total by category and put it as a Top N, so how do i get the correct total when topn values are selected... Pls help

[@learningsessions4584]

Hi Chandeep, thanks for this brilliant video. Can you please point me to any such of your video where I want to have percentage of grand total along with values by category. Not the simple percent of grand total but percentage at each level & addition of all such percentage ( which will be 100%)

[@Henrik.Vestergaard]

Cool video and THANKS for the Greg Deckler reference, plz vote everybody!

[@gkirankumarskht]

Awesome

[@mariaalejandraalfonsomunoz1737]

Thanks for your input. But I need the opposite. In my case The total is correct, but I need to focus on fixing values within rows. In your initial example with CHANNEL and UNIQUE DAYS, I want to show a non-duplicated total of 464, considering only unique days for 'Affiliate,' 'Organic,' and 'Promotional' channels. Can you help me count only once time the same day across these three channels?

[@Fabrizioea]

Great video, but i need to do this in the other way. Take unique values for total but spread in categories

[@user-jr2uc8sw6n]

Hello professor, thank you to give me good video. Can you upload about powerbi the hierarchy tools? Ex) humen data, humen image

[@allendataguy]

The actual / vanilla numbers seemed correct. But then, yeah, as per the use case, these "fixes" come in handy as well.

[@januszb4494]

Hi, I have data for every month file but every file is running total from January, how to calculate in dax sales for every single month?

[@nikakalichava8012]

good one already been using these methods! goodly, can you help me with 1 problem? I have a data for 2023 sales, but each row is a cumulative for previous... Lets say I have 2 sales reps, 1 sold 200$ and other 400$ in Sep-1, and 1 sold 300$ and other 0, the data comes Sep 1 ; Sales rep 1 ; Sales 200 Sep 1 ; Sales rep 2 ; Sales 400; Sep 2; Sales rep 1; Sales 500; (is accumulates from the start of each month); Sep 2; Sales rep 2; Sales 400... I have 3 measures measure 1 - sum ( Table[sales] ); measure 2 - calculate ( [measure 1] , PREVIOUSDAY (table[date] ) measure 3 - [measure 1] - [measure 2] and it works fine but.... I have to use a Direct Querry.... I want to make a matrix (Months in columns and days (1-31) in rows.. it works but I also had to make a new visual by weekdays and it does not work... :( any tips?

[@tommynguyen4253]

The issue with the fix is NOT dynamic. Whenever you change the attribute, it wont work anymore. If we have some function opposite to ALLSELECTED (eg. ALLNOTSELECTED), then it would make it easier.

[@madhurilathameejuri]

I am facing an issue with my data , when displayed on card it shows a value based on measure id , but the same value when im taking on measure name its throwing a different value. How can i resolve it ?

[@sheshikumarausheni9428]

Hey goodly guru Grand total is not showing for measure in table matrix Please help me out

[@kommabalaji4845]

Kindly make a video on Granularity

[@williamarthur4801]

Funnily enough prior to this I was re watching a vid on Semi additive measures for end of month, BTW have you thought of doing a video on DAX studio, I find it very useful, but only use a fraction of the features available.

[@silentflight1]

agreed. would love a dax studio vid

[@anikeetdey3411]

Yes please make a series on DAX Studio

What is the point of totaling max in the first place? Showing the total is not always relevant. What is the point of summarizing max?

How can we repeat all labels in Matrix (row wise)

Use a table visual

[@sharadkumarpani7625]

do you yourself have the idea why the totals are different with every change in the DAX. Unless you explain why the number 464 appears and 1396 appears how can we understand that calculate is giving the right answer. You are not showing the dataset how will we understand the difference.

[@GoodlyChandeep]

got it.. i'll do better next time :)

[@deshn21]

Manually adding the rows to get a total makes no sense

[@Milhouse77BS]

Is it a problem, or a feature? Hmm.

[@BISimplifier]

Should be an option to select?
