SUM values in a table and group into categories

I have a table called 'Costing' in this table I have columns 'Building & Work Stage ID' and 'Cost'. The ID column is a text column represent eahc project and then I have various values in the cost for each ID. I need to SUM the 'Cost' column for each ID creating a total project value. I then want to categorise these like I have attempted to below. However, I then want to create a table that provides a count of 'Building & Work Stage ID' for each 'Category'. When I try do this it just gives me a total count of IDs and all assigned to the £50m+ category.

 

 

 
Project Value £ Categories=
VAR ProjectCost = [Project Costs]
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
ProjectCost < 1, "No Data",
ProjectCost > 1 && ProjectCost <= 10000000, "£0-£10m",
ProjectCost > 10000000 && ProjectCost <= 30000000, "£10-£30m",
ProjectCost > 30000000 && ProjectCost <= 50000000, "£30-£50m",
"£50m+")
 
for reference
Project Costs =CALCULATE(SUM('Costing'[Cost]), VALUES('Costing'[Building & Work Stage ID]))
)

 I have a table that includes these columns (this is  a simplified version).

Building & Work Stage IDCost
Project 11000000
Project 15000000
Project 13000000
Project 250000000
Project 2600000
Project 1100000
Project 210000000
Project 35000000
Project 310000000
Project 415000000
Project 410000000

 

I then want to sum for each project

 Total Project Value
Project 1           9,100,000
Project 2         60,600,000
Project 3         15,000,000
Project 4         25,000,000


Finally I want to create a count of projects within specific size ranges, as per below.

 Count of Project
£0-10m1
£10-30m2
£30-50m0
£50m+1
