DAX help: calculate Sum by each category: not getting the right results

I am trying to calculate the total recipe cost price for each recipe. I used the below DAX formula as shown in the image and also listed below but I am not getting the correct result. I am trying to acheive this in a Power Bi Matrix visual. Please help.

Recipe Total Cost Price = Calculate(SUM('All Recipes'[Ingredient_Cost_Price]), ALLEXCEPT('All Recipes','All Recipes'[Recipe Name]))

HI @sustar2020,

You can try to use the following measure formula if that is suitable for your requirement:

Recipe Total Cost Price =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'All Recipes'[Ingredient_Cost_Price] ),
    ALLSELECTED ( 'All Recipes' ),
    VALUES ( 'All Recipes'[Recipe Name] )
)

Regards,

Hi, sorry, it didn't work. It's giving an empty column.

@sustar2020 , if Ingredient_Cost_Price is a column this seems fine to me

 

But you can try

 

Recipe Total Cost Price = Calculate(SUM('All Recipes'[Ingredient_Cost_Price]), filter(allselected('All Recipes') ,'All Recipes'[Recipe Name] = max('All Recipes'[Recipe Name]) ))

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
