Create Summarized Table Based on Value of One Table and Max of Another

Hello,

I am trying to create a new table (not a measure) by way of DAX, where I want to have a new column summarized by one column (Effor Type) and display sum of MAX Values based on another column (Effort Class)
I have this as the main table:

IDEffort TypeEffort ClassCalculated Value
401EFFORTComplexity2.5
401EFFORTComplexity2.5
401EFFORTComplexity2.5
401EFFORT Budget4

401VALUERegulatory0
401VALUEUE8
401VALUEUE8
401VALUEUE8

 

I want the summarize table as follows;

IDEffort TypeTotals
401EFFORT18.5
401READINESS2.5
401VALUE16

 

Any help is much appreciated.

I would probably do this in Power Query where it would be 2 'Group By' transforms.

A new table in DAX would be :

TableWE = var _preTab = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(TableYTest[ID],  TableYTest[Effort Class], TableYTest[Effort Type], "Amoun",  MIN(TableYTest[Calculated Value]))
RETURN
GROUPBY (_preTab, TableYTest[ID],  TableYTest[Effort Type],  "Spec Amount", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), [Amoun] ))

Thank you very much @HotChilli I am a newbie so can you please expand on why you would Group by in Power Query instead of doing this in DAX?
