Getting measure to work in pivot row total

Hi,

 

I've got a dataset (representative of a work-related problem but not real data) as per images below: a Plans table and a ServiceRecord table, related by PlanID.  I developed a measure (PlanHoursThisPeriod) which broke out the high-level plan hours according to the period context on the pivot.  The PlanHoursThisPeriod2 measure is an attempt to get this measure to work on row totals, but I've run out of ideas.  In the image showing the pivot, instead of the (red) 45.9 on the Jan 2018 row, it should show the sum of 15.3 and 8.6 (green cells).

I'm sure someone can see an easier way of doing this, but my PlanHoursThisPeriod2 measure so far is below:

 

=VAR FirstDateOfPeriod = FIRSTDATE('Calendar'[Date Key])
VAR LastDateOfPeriod = LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date Key])
VAR PlanStartDate = MAX(Plans[StartDate])
VAR PlanEndDate = MAX(Plans[EndDate])
VAR DailyPlanHours = MAX(Plans[DailyPlanHours])
RETURN
IF(COUNTROWS(VALUES('Calendar'[Year]))>1,MAX(Plans[PlanHours]),

 

// This block below is trying to get row totals to work.
IF(COUNTROWS(VALUES(Plans[PlanID]))>1,

SUMX(Plans,
(IF(FirstDateOfPeriod>PlanEndDate,BLANK(),
IF(LastDateOfPeriod<PlanStartDate,BLANK(),
IF(AND(LastDateOfPeriod<=PlanEndDate,FirstDateOfPeriod>=PlanStartDate),
DailyPlanHours*[DaysInPeriod],
IF(AND(FirstDateOfPeriod>=PlanStartDate,PlanEndDate<=LastDateOfPeriod),
DailyPlanHours*(PlanEndDate-FirstDateOfPeriod+1),
IF(AND(FirstDateOfPeriod<=PlanStartDate,LastDateOfPeriod<=PlanEndDate),
DailyPlanHours*(LastDateOfPeriod-PlanStartDate)))))))) ,
// block above for row totals

 

IF(FirstDateOfPeriod>PlanEndDate,BLANK(),
IF(LastDateOfPeriod<PlanStartDate,BLANK(),

IF(AND(LastDateOfPeriod<=PlanEndDate,FirstDateOfPeriod>=PlanStartDate),
DailyPlanHours*[DaysInPeriod],
IF(AND(FirstDateOfPeriod>=PlanStartDate,PlanEndDate<=LastDateOfPeriod),
DailyPlanHours*(PlanEndDate-FirstDateOfPeriod+1),
IF(AND(FirstDateOfPeriod<=PlanStartDate,LastDateOfPeriod<=PlanEndDate),
DailyPlanHours*(LastDateOfPeriod-PlanStartDate+1))))))))
