    Hi Thumper369 ,

     

    Here's the solution.

    1.The dummy data I created.

     

    2.Create a measure to calculate the Defective Effort.

    Defective Effort =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Work items with direct links'[Effort] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Work items with direct links' ),
            [ID] = MAX ( 'Work items with direct links'[ID] )
                && [Links.TargetWorkItem.WorkItemId] <> BLANK ()
        )
    )
    

     

    3.You can see that the total in the table is incorrect, so we just need to create a new measure to add them correctly.

     

    4.The new measure.

    Total = 
    VAR _table =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            VALUES ( 'Work items with direct links'[ID] ),
            "DE", [Defective Effort]
        )
    RETURN
        SUMX ( _table, [DE] )
    

     

     

    If you're still confused, please provide some dummy data and expected results.

     

     

    Best Regards,
