Change your formula to below or you can simply just hide that blank category row.

Open Commitments_ =
VAR _labour =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[LaborOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _allowance =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[AllowanceOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _costcategory =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CostCategory[Cost Category] )
RETURN
    IF (
        NOT ( HASONEVALUE ( CostCategory[Cost Category] ) ),
        _labour + _allowance,
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            _costcategory = "Labour", _labour,
            _costcategory = "Allowance", _allowance
        )
    )

Hi @ashmitp869 

 

As always, please provide a workable sample data and not an image and your expected result from that - how it is to be computed, etc. Please refer to this post: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/m-p/1447...

Try this:

Open Commitments_ =
VAR _labour =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[LaborOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _allowance =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[AllowanceOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _costcategory =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CostCategory[Cost Category] )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( _costcategory ),
        _labour + _allowance,
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            _costcategory = "Labour", _labour,
            _costcategory = "Allowance", _allowance
        )
    )

Hi @danextian Thanks the expressions worked and also getting TOTAL. But how to omit the Last line 

 

Becoz the TOTAL is duplicating , I don't need to show the last line instead show the TOTAL.

Open Commitments = VAR _labour =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[LaborOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _allowance =

VAR _fees =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[FeesOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _fom =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[FOMRentedEquipmentOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _sub =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[SubcontractOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _sup =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[SuppliesOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _mat =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[MaterialsOpenCommittedCost] )
    VAR _equi =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[ConstructionEquipmentOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _unde =
    SUM ( CommittedCostSummary[UndefinedOpenCommittedCost] )
VAR _costcategory =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CostCategory[Cost Category] )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK( _costcategory ),
        _labour + _allowance + _fees + _fom + _sub + _sup + _mat + _equi + _unde,
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            _costcategory = "Labour", _labour,
            _costcategory = "Allowance", _allowance,
