Measure with conditional calculation not working
Hi Community!
I'm stuck with a calculation I would like to do in DAX and was hoping to get your help.
I'm creating a financial report, showing already actuals, last year actuals, forecast and goals.
Now I need to add a column (Index %) to the overview that is showing per row the Actuals/ Actuals of "Total Sales" Line.
Except for the "Lines Sales of Goods" and "Sales of Product Related Services" I should have the value of the Actuals / Actuals of "Total Gross profit" Line.
I already tried several calculations in DAX, working with Calculated, SUM, Filter etc.
I have created the following measure already:
-> Here I should have a IF function I suppose, where I take Total Gross Profit in case the pnl line is Sales of Goods Or Sales of PRS.
FYI, maybe also need to know that I'm working with a two facts data model, the Row "Official PnL lines" are coming from dimension table (many-1 rel.)
Not even sure it is possible or easy to implement, but any tips are welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Data to understand:
PNL lines: string, eg "Total Sales"
Actual TY : Measure (sum of Actuals), correspond with the correct PNL line. Several accounts go into one PNL line.
Actuals: numbers in Account Data Table per Account.
Dimensions:
Units: string, code representing a department
Time: Month
Result should be a visaul table with:
row: pnl lines
columns: actual ty, MEASURE X
filters: units, time
MEASURE X =
Actuals TY/ Actuals TY of "Total Sales" Line.
Except for the "Lines Sales of Goods" and "Sales of Product Related Services" I should have the value of the Actuals TY/ Actuals TY of "Total Gross profit" Line.

Yes, I got it that you need sample data.
I don't have the capacity currently to make it. I hope to find some time soon.
Normally with the detailed descriptions I gave, you should already be able to understand the data I'm dealing with.
If someone else has any ideas how I could make this work, always welcome.
