How to use SUMMARIZE inside a calculated column?

I'm trying to get information from aggregated version of my table into my original table as a column, but im not sure how to do it.
Find the sample ecxample below

aji549_1-1718796834370.png

 

The table contains 4 column - EMP_ID, DATE, MONTHLY SALARY, DESIGNATION
I want to create new column called TOTAL SALARY which is the sum of salary for each employee available in data.
There is time filter as well, like if I select 6 months in the filter visual the total salary should be populated as total six months salary.
I couldn't find a way to do it in PBI using DAX/POWER QUERY.
Please help me on this!!


Thanks

@aji549 Not sure I am following this. Calculated columns cannot be affected by filters so you would need a measure in that case. As a measure, you could potentially do something like this:

Measure =
  VAR __Emp = MAX('Table'[EMP_ID])
  VAR __Result = SUMX( FILTER( ALLSELECTED( 'Table' ), [EMP_ID} = __Emp ), [SALARY] )
RETURN
  __Result

Hi, @aji549 

You can refer to @Greg_Deckler reply. If it doesn't meet your needs, you can refer to the following DAX.

vyaningymsft_0-1718864574184.png

Total SALARY = CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[SALARY]),
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[EMP_ID] = EARLIER('Table'[EMP_ID])
    )
)
