Total of a measure

Hello All, I have been reading the forum and searching online without any luck for this issue I am facing.

My table has the following structure:

 

sample data

 

TypeDescriptionItemValuationPriceValuationPriceLYAcquisitionCost([ValuationPrice]-[ValuationPriceLY])/[ValuationPriceLY]ROI (previous column*AcquisitionCost)
Merchandise1                           1.46                                1.40                     9,042.00                     0.04             396.88
Merchandise2                           1.46                                1.35                        405.00                     0.08               33.29
Merchandise3                           1.32                                1.30                     7,065.60                     0.02             116.63
Merchandise4                           2.44                         109.23                          -                        -  
Merchandise5                         13.91                         428.74                          -                        -  
Merchandise6                           9.25                         223.54                          -                        -  
Merchandise7                           6.98                         248.51                          -                        -  
Merchandise8                           4.70                         304.14                          -                        -  
Merchandise9                           2.64                                2.42                           73.38                     0.09                  6.44
Merchandise10                         13.87                         138.90                          -                        -  
Merchandise11                           9.43                                9.03                        146.36                     0.04                  6.48
Merchandise12                           7.53                                6.89                        180.12                     0.09               16.75

ROI Is a measure that =

IFERROR( ([ValuationPrice]-[ValuationPriceLY])/[ValuationPriceLY]*SUMx(Procurement_Periodics,Procurement_Periodics[AcquisitionCost]),0)
 
The excel total is ~608 on the measure total I am getting ~16.131

The picture above highlights the issue.

 
ROI is calculated correctly for each line.
However, ROI total is not. It should be the sum of the ROI of all the lines that are filtered. The total of ROI is the calucation of the total of cost (here measure)*([ValuationPrice]-[ValuationPriceLY])/[ValuationPriceLY] (here measure2).

Things I have tried so far that give incorrect results:
Measure 4 = sumx(VALUES(Procurement_Periodics[ItemType]),[ROI])
Measure 3 = VAR _table=SUMMARIZE(Procurement_Periodics,Procurement_Periodics[ItemType],"_value",[ROI])
RETURN
IF(HASONEVALUE(Procurement_Periodics[ItemType]),[ROI],SUMX(_table,[_value]))
 
Does anyone have an idea of how to approach this?

Turns out this is giving me the total I need.

 

Measure =
sumx(VALUES(Procurement_Periodics[ItemDescription]),[ROI])
