    amitchandak  GOOD ANSWER!

     

    Here are my additions:

     

    You can create a calculated column.

    Type1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),
    [Type] = "apple" || [Type] = "bannana" || [Type] = "orange", "fruits",
    [Type] = "Bicycle", "Car",
    [Type] = "house", "House",
    [Type] = "PC", "PC")

     

    And a measure.

    Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Type1], 'Table'[Date])) 

     

    Or do the following:

     

    Output:

     

    Is this the result you expect?

     

    Best Regards,
