Using IF statement in DAX

Hello, having an issue trying to figure this out.  I am trying to recreate an IF statement in Power BI using DAX.  I have the IF measure created, but not exactly sure how to SUM the result of the IF measure.  

I have Products listed, Store A Volume and Store B Volume.  

My IF measure is:  IF([Total Store B Volume] > [Total Store A Volume], [Total Store B Volume], [Total Store A Volume])

I am looking to SUM the Revised Volume Column.  Currently the total is 302, but I need it to reflect the Revised Amount total which is 57, not 302.

Can someone direct me on how to accomplish? 

ID                      Store A Volume           Store B Volume Revised           Volume(IF)
9999 Dates        40                                59                                             40

Hi @PM_2078 

 

As I understand it, your "Total Store A Volume" and "Total Store B Volume" are two measures. Here is my trying.

 

Total Store A Volume and Total Store B Volume:

Total Store A Volume = SUM([Store A Volume])

 

Total Store B Volume = SUM([Store B Volume])

 

Then I created a measure as follows.

Revised Volume Total = 
SUMX(
    'Table', 
    IF(
        [Total Store B Volume] < [Total Store A Volume], 
        [Total Store B Volume], 
        [Total Store A Volume]
    )
)

What's the reason for using measures?  Is the Total Store volume impacted by user filters?
