Hi RK91  , 

 

You could create a measure by the following formula:

cumulative2 =
VAR _A =
    CALCULATE ( [cumulative], 'Material'[Supplier] = " A" )
VAR _B =
    CALCULATE ( [cumulative], 'Material'[Supplier] = " B" )
VAR _COUNT =
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Material'[Supplier] )
RETURN
    IF (
        _COUNT = 1
            && MAX ( [Supplier] ) = " A",
        _A,
        IF ( _COUNT = 1 && MAX ( [Supplier] ) = " B", _B, _A + _B )
    )

The final output is shown below:

    hi v-yalanwu-msft, thank you for reaching out. I thought I already replied but didn't - sorry.

     

    Although it works on material level it doesn't give the expected result for the category. Also I have a lot more suppliers, materials and categories in my actual data and therfor I think it's not a sustainable solution in this case.
