Measure to sum a group of values in a column

Hi, I'm new to the Power BI Community and have problem in setting up a measure to combine the values to be used as the denominator in calculating % in the table below.  I need to sum "PO-FMS" and "PO-PDS" in Docu_Type column to a new group called "PO".  Could anyone show me how to do such measure?  Thank you!

create a dimension like the below and relate it to the main table and then drop NewType to the rows of the matrix

Thank you so much @LivioLanzo  I didn't think of creating a new table to relate the new value type to the old one and then using it in the visualization.  Now problem solved.  Thanks again!
