hi, @NvdVeerdonk 

For your case, try this formula

Measure = CALCULATE(SUMX('Tarieven 02','Tarieven 02'[Tarief]*CALCULATE(COUNTA('20190508 0916 export'[Categorie]))))

Result:

hi, @NvdVeerdonk 

For your case, just create a calculate measure by this formula:

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Tarief]))*CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Totaal van Categerie]))

By the way: If you want the total of the measure is 407+133650= 134057 not 148916

You could see this post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/m-p/547907

 

Then for your case, use this measure formula:

Measure 2 = 
VAR _table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Relatie],
        'Table'[Categorie],
        "_total", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Tarief] ) )
            * CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Totaal van Categerie] ) )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( _table, [_total] )

Dear Lin,

 

Thank you for the answer. I understand the measure only it gifs an error because "Totaal van Categorie" isn't a kolom in a table. This the valuwe Categorie. so i can't find Totaal van categorie and when i use Categorie i can't use the measure anywere.
