Why do I have split in category and the dashboard doesn't show up the total expenses?

Thanks for reaching out to the Community forum, allahassan-89-ho. 

I'm here to lend a hand. 

The total expenses showing on the Dashboard depends on the date range you've set up. To post the data you need in the Expenses section, you can select Last 30 days, This month, This quarter, This year, Last month, Last quarter, or Last year. Take a look at this resource for additional information about QuickBooks Online (QBO) dashboard: An introduction to the home dashboard.

As for the split category, it will show on the report if the transaction has multiple line items when categorizing. To verify, open the transaction to check the categories associated. To know more about it, see this article: Enter a split transaction into the account history.
