    hello, i have tried it using calculated columns as you can see on screenshot. i have used interim columns to come up with the planned/max remaining hours per bug and remaining hours per bug:

    Unique Tasks per Bug =
    var tasktype = 'Table'[Type]
    var id_ = 'Table'[ID]
    return if(tasktype = "Bug",calculate(countrows(distinct('Table'[ID])),filter('Table','Table'[ParentID] = id_)))

    Max Hours per Task =
    var tasktype = 'Table'[Type]
    var id_ ='Table'[ID]
    return calculate(maxx('Table','Table'[RemainingHours]),filter('Table','Table'[ID]=id_))

    Max Hours per Bug =
    var tasktype = 'Table'[Type]
    var id_ = 'Table'[ID]
    return if(tasktype = "Bug",calculate(sumx(distinct('Table'[Max Hours per Task]),calculate(max('Table'[Max Hours per Task]))),filter('Table','Table'[ParentID]=id_)))

    Remaining Hours per Task =
    var tasktype = 'Table'[Type]
    var id_ ='Table'[ID]
    return calculate(MINX('Table','Table'[RemainingHours]),filter('Table','Table'[ID]=id_))
    Remaining Hours per Bug =
    var tasktype = 'Table'[Type]
    var id_ = 'Table'[ID]
    return if(tasktype = "Bug",calculate(sumx(distinct('Table'[Remaining Hours per Task]),calculate(MIN('Table'[Remaining Hours per Task]))),filter('Table','Table'[ParentID]=id_)))


    there might be simpler and cleaner solutions out there as im still new to this, but hope this helps atleast 🙂
