Dax Help, want to sum values in column for total amount

chynds — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 15:30:40 GMT

Hello! I am hoping to get some help with a dax function so that my totals calculate correctly. In the image below I am using dax to calculate this column. I would like the total to sum the value in the column 6 + 7 + 43 = 56 instead of it calulculating based on other total columns. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
