Wrong Totals in a conditional measure

I have a conditional measure that is showing the wrong subtotals and totals in a matrix visualization.

 

The measure works like this:

If a worker is a contractor then I have to add all the hours they logged in Schedule. If the worker is not a contractor then I have to take the Defined Month Hours from the Calendar table. See example formula below:

 

Month Hours =IF(MAX(WorkerData[Type])="Non Contractor", SUM('Calendar'[Defined Month Hours]),CALCULATE(SUM(Schedule[HOURS]))

 

If I check each worker everything works correctly, but when checking the totals or subtotals, only Non Contractors are being added.

See example:

BossWorkerMonth Hours
Boss Subtotal 100
 Worker 1 (Non contractor)50
 Worker 2 (Non contractor)50
 Worker 3 (Contractor)5
Total 100

 

I would appreciate any help with the issue was I have been finding solutions but not for this specific type of scenario.

 

Thanks.

Please see this video for how to solve this. You likely need to use something like this (replacing T1 with your actual table name.

 

NewMeasure = SUMX(Summarize(T1, T1[Boss], T1[Worker]), [YourMeasure])

Hi,

Does this measure work?

Measure = SUMX(VALUES(WorkerData[Type]),[Month hours])

I am afraid that the boss and the worker are at different tables.
