Sum of values across multiple columns based on other column

[michelp]

Hi,

I have a datasource which has multiple lines like this:

It has a product description in the BLx Description field, and an amount in the BLx Sales Amount field

I would like the totals for each product across the multiple columns. So for example i want to know the total sum of Cisco, which should count the 3 cisco values across BL1 and BL2

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Try this measure:

Sum Cisco Sales = 
var BL1sales=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[BL1 Sales Amount]),FILTER('Table (2)','Table (2)'[BL1 Description]="Cisco" )) 
var BL2sales=CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[BL2 Sales Amount]),FILTER('Table (2)','Table (2)'[BL2 Description]="Cisco" )) 
Return BL1sales+BL2sales
