Add DAX measure result to specific category

Need help with adding the result of a DAX measure into a Specific Category.

For Example:

DAX result = 50

I need to add the DAX result to category E

 

CategoryOriginal ValuesDesired Result
A7676
B1313
C8787
D5252
E54104
Total282332

 

The DAX result is not related to the category, therefore when I add the DAX measure to the Original values, it adds 50 to all the categories but I need this to be added to Category E.
I tried using an if statement but I get an incorrect Total value

This was useful but Im not able to use a calculated column since my dataset is more complex than just those 5 categories.
I was able to make it work by introducing a SUMX to your formula. Thanks!

 

New Value = SUMX('Table', IF('Table'[Category] = "E", 'Table'[Original Value] + [Measure], 'Table'[Original Value] ))

Hi,

Write this measure

DR = if(min(Data[Category])="E",[original values]+[DAX result],[original values])

Hope this helps.

Thanks but this does not return the correct value for the total.

It returns the same total as the sum of Original Value.

Desired Result =

Plot your value in table visual (DAX result is in measure form).
