Measure to Calculate sum for value in a Column

https://ufile.io/92hq0

 

In the above look is my sample Excel file.

 

I want to create a measure that would calculate the number of Project hours:

 

Case: Category = Project

 

and sum 'Time As a Decimal'

 

How do you do this?

Perhaps something like this measure:

 

Measure = 
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Case: Category]="Project"),[Time As Decimal])

THat's the correct Greg thank you.

 

What if I want to add support as well?

Measure = 
(
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Case: Category]="Project"),[Time As Decimal])
+

SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Case: Category]="Support"),[Time As Decimal])
)/40*14

But I don't trust the number for this calculation.
