In a quick look, I see you are using DISTINCT in the SUM. In your data you have 6 x $300, which results into 1 x $300. The difference of $1500 ( 5 x $300) is due to this DISTINCT. May be you should remove DISTINCT.

Does it make sense?

If I do not use DISTINCT function then I have following total 913514 which is also incorrect.  I need to know that how can I print total 741812 in sum which is correct total

The data is 100% correct, the issue is with Sum Function. I do not know why I am not getting the correct total 741812. Please tell me the exact reason that what formula is to be used to get 741812.

You can post a sample file to look into.

I have already sent the sample data from the file, there is nothing wrong with data. The issue is with Sum function that why it changes the total while calculating manually or calculating in Excel I get the  correct total. The figures with amount 300 (5 times) also correct.
