Convert SQL query to a DAX measure, calculate sum for distinct values in another column

What is an equivalent DAX measure for the following SQL query:

 

select sum(amount) from (select distinct srcid, amount from mytable where datanameshort='name' and status = 'status');

SUMX (VALUES('Table'[Amount] ), CALCULATE(DISTINCT('Table'[Scrid] ), 'Table'[datanameshort]="name'"&& 'Table'[status] = "status"))

Hi @MDR ,
Try this.
SUMX (
SUM( 'Table'[Amount] ),
CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Scrid] ) , 'Table'[datanameshort]='name' and 'Table'[status] = 'status)
)
Thanks,
Pratyasha Samal

Thanks @pratyashasamal this returns the following error:

The SUMX function expects a table expression for argument '1', but a string or numeric expression was used.
