    Prevent DAX measure from calculating subtotals

    Hello

    I have a pivot-table with added DAX-measures in powerpivot.

    I want to show the increases and decreases in a value on a project level versus same month prior year in two separate columns.

    To do this I use the dateadd function and an if-statement that only shows increases (SUM>0) in one column and decreases (SUM<0) in another.

    The problem I encounter is that the DAX formula also calculates the subtotal sums as >0 and <0 on an aggregate level. If the subtotal is >0 then it does not show the sum of values that ar <0. Below table illustrates this.

    The formula i use for the measures are:

    I've tried using COUNTROWS/HASONEVALUE to no avail. Also filtering and SUMX.

    I cannot seem to get it right. Is there anyone out there who has encountered this issue before?

    Best Regards
    Stefan

    I think you'll probably want a combination of SUMX and SUMMARIZE to effectively create a table of the results that you can simply sum for the subtotals. It would be easier to help with a sample workbook though.
