SUM a nested CALCULATE within a SummarizeColumns?

Hi all

Hoping I can get some quick help on this.
I have the following CALCULATE statement inside a SUMMARIZECOLUMNS and I want to wrap it in a SUM.

--This is my current calculate statement which works a treat. It is just calculating a column and putting 0 where I have blanks in another calculation.
CALCULATE(
    IF(
        ISBLANK(
            CALCULATE(
                SUM('Measures - Load Planning'[EFTSL])
                ,'Load Cycle'[Load Cycle Month Day] = "October 31"
                ,'Load Year'[Load Year Cycle] = -1
                ,'Progress Category'[Progress Category Code] = "CT1"
            )
        )
    ,0
    ,CALCULATE(
        SUM('Measures - Load Planning'[EFTSL])
        ,'Load Cycle'[Load Cycle Month Day] = "October 31"
        ,'Load Year'[Load Year Cycle] = -2
        ,'Progress Category'[Progress Category Code] = "CM1"
    )
    )
)


All I want to do now is basically wrap that whole thing in a
CALCULATE(
    SUM( {above statement here})
    ,ALLSELECTED(a column on the table)
)

Does this make sense? Can anyone help?
Cheers

Hi

Yeah that was one of the first things I tried but it didnt work.
In the end I managed to get it working by creating another calculated table off the original and doing my calcs in there.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers

Well... instead of asking here you could just do what you suggest and see if it works 🙂

However,
