New table = 
SUMMARIZE (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        'Product',
        "@Sales_Subcategory", SUMX ( RELATEDTABLE ( 'Fact' ), 'Fact'[Sales] ),
        "@Sales_Category",
            SUMX (
                CALCULATETABLE (
                    RELATEDTABLE ( 'Fact' ),
                    FILTER (
                        ALL ( 'Product' ),
                        'Product'[Category] = EARLIER ( 'Product'[Category] )
                    )
                ),
                'Fact'[Sales]
            )
    ),
    'Product'[Sub Category],

Hey. Thanks for the solution, but what if the sales column is in a different table?

 

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you please describe how the two tables look like?
