Aggregating budget values at the correct level

My data is a big flat file in Excel containing Sales figures.

 

CategorySubcategoryProductSalesBudget
BeveragesBeersStella Artois£20,081£62,800
BeveragesBeersJohn Smiths£20,001£62,800
BeveragesBeersGuinness£22,542£62,800

BeveragesWinesNicolas Feillatte Champagne£11,838£36,500
BeveragesWinesTio Pepe£13,163£36,500
FruitBananasFairtrade bananas£66,331£73,700
FruitOrangesOranges£21,464£66,300
FruitOrangesSatsumas£22,136£66,300
FruitOrangesOrtaniques£22,611£66,300
FruitPearsWilliams£75,878£69,300
FruitStrawberriesAlba£24,087£26,200

 

The Budget figures are aggregated at the level of Subcategory and are repeated in the transactions table for each instance of the Subcategory. I would like to make a table aggregated at the level of Category, like this.

 

CategorySalesBudget
Beverages£122,020£122,600
Fruit£232,508£235,500

 

The Sales are easy but I can't work out how to calculate the Budget figures. I need a Measure that adds up the Budget figures for all Subcategories within the Category, but not weighting by sales. It's something like a Tableau INCLUDE. I've tried to use GROUPBY, but can't get it to work.

 

Please help!

@GideonM  use this as a measure

Measure 3 = sumx(SUMMARIZE(t1,t1[Category],t1[Budget]),t1[Budget])
