Dynamic Currency Conversion Incorrect Summary for Measure

I am running into Incorrect Summation problem while converting Currency as show here. 

Also few other problem that i run into.
1)How do i prevent Summary in Exchange Rate Column(It is also displaying incorrect Sum).?
2) Is there a way to Update Header of Column based on the Slicer Value ?

Here are the Measure Formulas that i am using.

ExchangeRateForSelectedCurrency = SUMX(Sales, LOOKUPVALUE(ExchangeRate[Rate],
ExchangeRate[CurrencyFrom],SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[UnitOfCurrency])
,ExchangeRate[CurrencyTo],SELECTEDVALUE(Currencies[UnitOfCurrency])
,ExchangeRate[Date],SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[DateOfSale]),1
))
 
Converted Value based on Slicer(Measure)
Calculated Value = SUMX(Sales, Sales[Cost] * LOOKUPVALUE(ExchangeRate[Rate],
ExchangeRate[CurrencyFrom],SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[UnitOfCurrency])
,ExchangeRate[CurrencyTo],SELECTEDVALUE(Currencies[UnitOfCurrency])
,ExchangeRate[Date],SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[DateOfSale]),1
))
 
Here is the Data that i have used.

Hi @nssidhu74 

 

try this measures.

 

ExchangeRateForSelectedCurrency = 
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Sales[UnitOfCurrency] ),
    SUMX (
        Sales,
        LOOKUPVALUE (
            ExchangeRate[Rate],
            ExchangeRate[CurrencyFrom], Sales[UnitOfCurrency],
            ExchangeRate[CurrencyTo], SELECTEDVALUE ( Currencies[UnitOfCurrency] ),
            ExchangeRate[Date], Sales[DateOfSale],
            1
        )
    ),
    BLANK ()
)

 

Calculated Value = 
SUMX (
    Sales,
    Sales[Cost]
        * LOOKUPVALUE (
            ExchangeRate[Rate],
            ExchangeRate[CurrencyFrom], Sales[UnitOfCurrency],
            ExchangeRate[CurrencyTo], SELECTEDVALUE ( Currencies[UnitOfCurrency] ),
            ExchangeRate[Date], Sales[DateOfSale],
            1
        )
)

 

A conditional column header is actual not possible.
