Calculate formula from different table failing

Good day,
given the following tables:
1.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sales_header
sales_item
and date_table
relationship from Sales_header and sales_item is as follows:

2.PNG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Date table is linked to Sales_header with the transaction_date.

I would like to diplay the sales sales_item [amounphp] per location (sales)header[location]) and only for specific locations.
te objective being to get the ratio per location.
i can get it via a table such as:
3.PNG

But I would like to get it via a measure inorder to display it in a card.
So far 3 locations.
I need the sales for ECOM only
I need the sales for VROC only
I need the total sales with VHO excluded.

I tried: 

Measure = CALCULATE (
[sales],
FILTER ( 'vproject sales_header', 'vproject sales_header'[location] = "ecom" ),
FILTER ( 'vproject sales_header', 'vproject sales_header'[location] = "vroc" )
with sales being 
sales = sum('vproject sales_item'[amountphp])
But not to avail.
Any idea why?

I think your filtering was trying to give you only lines that are ECOM and VROC both instead of either.  Try this.

Measure =
CALCULATE ( [sales], 'vproject sales_header'[location] IN { "ecom", "vroc" } )

@Cyrilbrd Can you post sample data to replicate? Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
