Let's say I have a table named FRUIT that looks like this:
TYPE QUANTITY
Bananas 2
Oranges 3
Kiwi 4
My goal is to Sum only Bananas and Oranges and have those sums show only when they are selected in a visual filter. No problem! All I have to do is write the following measure:
FruitSum =
VAR _Sum =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Fruit[Quantity] ) )
RETURN
IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Fruit[Type] IN { "Bananas", "Oranges" } ), _Sum, BLANK () )
This works....but there is a catch: I can't get the Total to show in a matrix visual (or any other way).
In other words, if I have a filter on the visual that shows only Bananas and Oranges, I get
Bananas 2
Oranges 3
Total
However what I would like is to show the total....
Bananas 2
Oranges 3
Total 5
Note - this outcome would be acceptable too
Bananas 2
Oranges 3
Kiwis 4
Total 5
Thoughts on how to code? Thank you!

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
expected measure one: =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Fruit[Quantity] ),
KEEPFILTERS ( Fruit[Type] IN { "Bananas", "Oranges" } )
)
expected measure two: =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Fruit[Type] ),
SUM ( Fruit[Quantity] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Fruit[Quantity] ),
KEEPFILTERS ( Fruit[Type] IN { "Bananas", "Oranges" } )
)
)

Perfect - you are a dax genius! Kudos!
Hi @charleshale,
Not sure if I understood properly. Since if you are selecting values in the visual filter, that should automatically filter down the sum of values.
However try this -
1. Create a list that will return all values selected -
