How to calculate TOTAL for table with slicer?

Hi All,

 

I understand calculating the TOTAL in PowerBi is always a challenge. But being new to DAX doesn't help. 


I have read so many posts but I am not getting anywhere. I think it's something with SUMX but I have tried many different versions, and it still didn't work. =(

So will really need some help with this please:

 

Here is what I have in a database (simplifed version):

Desired outcome when put into a matrix/ table:

Desired outcome when I use my slicer to filter by sites on the matrix/ table:

What kind of DAX do I write please?
Thank you so much in advance!~

Hi @byWing ,

 

Power BI will automatically merge the categories. To display them this way, you need to add an [index] column in the PowerQuery Editor.]

Then drag these fields into the table.

Finally, adjust the font color of the [index] column to match the background color.

If Total is not correct, try this measure.

 

Measure = 
SUMX(
    SUMMARIZE(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Site],
        "bugt",[@Budget]
    ),
    [bugt]
)
