    'categories trans'[AGENT_NAME],

Hi @tomsmith213 ,

You can create another new measure as below and put this new measure to replace the original measure [Sum of Commission] onto the table visual. Later check if it can return the correct total values...

Sum of Commission = SUM('categories commisions'[Commission']
New Measure =
SUMX (
    GROUPBY (
        'categories trans',
        'categories trans'[AGENT_NAME],
        'categories trans'[Categoty]
    ),
    [Sum of Commission]
)
