DAX Group by Calculation

Hello,

 

Please can someone help me with my calculation.

 

I have a dataset which looks like the below, I cannot change the structure of the data. I need to create a calculation which will multiply the 'UnitOfMeasure' (Recycled and Reused) against the associated Unit Weight for that 'AssetType'. e.g. Laptops Recycled (1438) * Laptops Unit Weight (2) = 2876

 

AssetTypevolumeUnitOfMeasure
Laptops1438Recycled
Laptops16676Reused
Laptops2Unit Weight
Monitors450Recycled
Monitors9571Reused
Monitors8Unit Weight
Printers0Recycled
Printers11Reused
Printers20Unit Weight
Server25Recycled
Server26Reused
Server12Unit Weight

 

I need to calculate the total for Recycled and Reused, in the example provided I should be returned with the total below of 6,776 Recycled and 110,320 Reused. 

 

AssetTypeRecycledReused
Laptops         2,876           33,352
Monitors         3,600           76,568
Printers0                   88
Server            300                 312
Total         6,776         110,320

Hi @Anonymous 
Try this 2 formulas:

1.

recycled =
sumx(
    SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[AssetType],"total rec",CALCULATE(sum('Table'[volume]),'Table'[UnitOfMeasure]="Recycled")*CALCULATE(sum('Table'[volume]),'Table'[UnitOfMeasure]="Unit Weight")),[total rec])
2.
reused =
sumx(
    SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[AssetType],"total reu",CALCULATE(sum('Table'[volume]),'Table'[UnitOfMeasure]="Reused")*CALCULATE(sum('Table'[volume]),'Table'[UnitOfMeasure]="Unit Weight")),[total reu])
