Total does not add up while using Distinct count function

Notice the pivot below. The sum of the columns does not add up to the total. This is because I am using this function to count for the details Count( Distinct [field]) however when it comes to the totals, it creates a different combination of distinct numbers so it produces that.

How do i make the totals just the summation of the details above and to the right while at the same time, keep the details with the same formula as Distinct count?

I guess you could work with a rangsum() function in combination with the aggr() function.

I don't know what the dimension is you are using here for the rows, but lets call it yourDimension. Try this expression:

rangesum(aggr(count(distinct [field]), yourDimension))

You might be using multiple dimensions, so just add those. For example:

rangesum(aggr(count(distinct [field]), yourDimension, yourOtherDimension))

I don't have any test data to try this myself, so let us know if it worked.

Or May be this:

Sum(Aggr(Count(Distinct [field]), yourDimension/s))

Made a typo (edited it). Should have been rangesum instead of rangsum.

Same with Sum(Aggr(Count(Distinct [field]), yourDimension/s))

You did not add Aging in your expression, try this:

Sum(Aggr(Count(Distinct [PSA_Approved_Date__c]), Month, Aging))

Is Aging a field or a calculation?

Its a calculation. So is month.

Here is the Aging formula

If (([PSA_Submitted_Date__c]-[pse__Expense_Date__c]) = '', '',If (([PSA_Submitted_Date__c]-[pse__Expense_Date__c]) < 8 ,'1-7 Days',If (([PSA_Submitted_Date__c]-[pse__Expense_Date__c]) < 16, '8-15 Days',If (([PSA_Submitted_Date__c]-[pse__Expense_Date__c]) <22, '16-21 Days',If (([PSA_Submitted_Date__c]-[pse__Expense_Date__c]) < 32, '22-31 Days','32+ Days' ) ))))

Here is the Month formula

Date(MonthStart(PSA_Approved_Date__c), 'MMM-YY')
