Hi, PBIfanatic ;
You could create a table as a slicer by cate column,then modify the measure as follow:
1.create a table as slicer.
slicer = VALUES('Table'[Category])2.then modify measure.
Measure = IF(ISFILTERED(slicer[Category]), CALCULATE(SUM([Sales]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Category]=SELECTEDVALUE('slicer'[Category]))),SUM([Sales]))The final output is shown below:

PBIfanatic As amitchandak points out, this isn't possible without a separate dimension table. Ideally, you'd have a dimension table for Category and another for Product.
I recommend this article for more detail on why star schemas with proper dimension tables are important:
