Sum per category in another table

Hi,

How do I create a measure where I calculate the TT_HRS[TT_Hours] per TT_ACT[Category]?

It's not working. I only get a calculated sum for one category. I would expect to get a calculated sum for each category.

Do you have more info about the relationship between TT_HRS and TT_ACT? What are the two linked columns?

The link is:

TT_ACT[Activity ID] one-to-many TT_HRS[TT_ACT_ID]

try to create a measure with this:
 
Measure = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(TT_HRS[TT_Hours]),
    USERELATIONSHIP(
        TT_ACT[Activity ID],
        TT_HRS[TT_ACT_ID]
    )
)
 
you would need to plot a Visual with TT_ACT[Category].
