Alternative to calculate function

I'm attempting to use the calulate function to sum a result and apply filters. However the calcultate function only seems to allow me to use a column as a reference but my reference is a measure. Is there a workaround for this in the Calculate function or is there another Dax function that will allow me to sum my measure and apply filters?

Hi,

 

Just put the measure in place of sum(percentcol), so it should be CALCULATE(COALESCE(percentcol,0)......). The measure be calculated accordingly.
