DAX SUM with GROUP BY?

I'm needing help with two seemingly easy DAX calculations, but I'm not able to get anything working.  I'm trying to create a measure called [AMOUNT2] that takes the sum of [AMOUNT] (this is a column in my table), grouped by [ID], [SOME_ID], and [ANOTHER ID].  Once [AMOUNT2] as been caculated, I wanted to create a measure called [MAX_OF_AMOUNT2] that takes the max of [AMOUNT2] and is grouped by [ID]. 

 

Any ideas or direction would be most helpful! I've provided a visual example of the data table below for reference.

Hi @Anonymous 

Create two measures

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[amount]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[id],Table1[some_id],Table1[another_id]))

Measure 2 = MAXX(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[id]),[Measure])

Hi Maggie, would be nice if you can put an explanation of what the two measures is doing so that a newbie like myself can understand what is going on. Especially the function AllExcept, I still find it difficult to undestand 🙂
Thank you
