Hi @Anonymous,

 

Instead of using just the table name in the first parameter of Summarize, you can use a filtered table like:

 

New Table = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('Table','Table'[Name]="A" || 'Table'[Name]="B"),'Table'[Name],"Sum",SUM('Table'[Value]))

 

Works for you? Mark this post as a solution if it does!
