    Hi Anonymous - Yes! You can make sure the Total Cost, Total Hours, and Cost of Labor all adjust dynamically to filters by modifying the formulas. Right now, your formula uses ALL('Employee Data')

     

    Cost of Labor1 =
    VAR TotalHours = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Hours Worked]), ALLSELECTED('Table')) -- Respects slicers
    VAR TotalCost = 1000  -- Adjust this if needed to be dynamic
    VAR HourlyRate = DIVIDE(TotalCost, TotalHours, 0)

    RETURN SUMX('Table', 'Table'[Hours Worked] * HourlyRate)

     

     

     

    Please find the attached pbix file. Hope this helps.
