Help with a Basic Calculated Column

I am fairly new to DAX and struggling with what I think is something quite basic that I am hoping somebody will be able to help with. 

 

I am trying to create a new calculated column in my "Control results" table (Pleas see my model below) that just sums the values of both the "Metric Text Box Integrated with" Column and the "Multi Choice Button Interacted with" column from my "Metrics" table.

I am using the following Dax Formula

Control Interacted with = SUM(metrics[Multi Choice Button Interacted with]) + SUM(metrics[Metric Text Box Interacted with])
 
But when I do I get the total value for all rows in the "Metrics" table, rather than the ones that relate to just the ID row in the "Control results" table. In the image below the "Control Interacted with" column should have a low number of 1 to about 8 and be different for each row here?

I am sure this is something very basic, but I would be very grateful of any help anyone can give.
