Distinct Sum of Different IDs

Hello,

I have a table similar to the one below and want to get sums of the totals Hours left for all the activity codes; in this case, it should be 50 + 100 + 200 (350). However, I keep on getting 800 (50 + 50 + 100 + 200 + 200 + 200) even though I used DISTINCT function. 

Distinct Total Hours Left=
    SUMX(
        DISTINCT(
                'Event'[Activity Code]
            ),
        CALCULATE(SUM('Event[Hours Left]),
        'Event[Event Label] = "A")
    )
 
Thank you!

thank you so much @Ahmedx! That works! I also had my PBI upgraded to the latest release and was able to download the file.

Thank you so much @Ahmedx ! I'm running an older version of PBI desktop (Feb, 2023), and it's a company laptop so I can't upgrade it myself. I can't open the PBI file as a result. Would you be able to put the dax code here instead? Thanks a lot!

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
