SelectedValue works with text results, not with numeric results

Hi PBI experts,

 

I am trying to create a measure using selectedvalue with two conditions, the case is, when I set it to display text whe both result false or true, it works fine, however, when I use the calculate function to get a value, it doesn't display any value:

 

It works:

 
Test3 =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] ) = "Volume"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Selection[Selection] ) = "PC",
    "Volume (PC)",
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] ) = "Volume"
            && SELECTEDVALUE ( Selection[Selection] ) = "9L",
        "Volume (9L)",
        [Actual]
    )
)
 
This way is not working:
 
Test =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] ) = "Volume"
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( Selection[Selection] ) = "PC",
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[Values] ), 'Data'[Category] = "Volume (PC)" ),
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Category] ) = "Volume"
            && SELECTEDVALUE ( Selection[Selection] ) = "9L",
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[Values] ), 'Data'[Category] = "Volume (9L)" ),
        [Actual]
    )
)

In this case, I would expect that when I select the PC option in the slicer, the Volume row will show the value of the Volume (PC) row ( 148,284) and when you select the 9L option, it will show the value of the Volume (9L) row (119). Currently, it shows 0.
 
I've attached the PBIX file for more information:
