example week 23,24,25,26,27 in excel below:

Hi  @gustavoluis ,

 

I originally proposed a disconnected table but after checking on your pbix, I've decided to skip that. I've also modified the formula for the calculated table to account for the week column being a number while "Total" is a text string. Please refer to this pbix - https://drive.google.com/file/d/14CXYQUEz94fIZStO1TUk7j9mNGJ8seYL/view?usp=sharing

Hi @gustavoluis ,

 

For this, you would have to make use a disconnected (no relationship with Facts/Dimension tables) table that contains all the unique items in a column (week number, etc) plus another row for Total and use that column in a visual.

 

Sample calculated table to create a disconnected table. 

Categories with total = 
VAR __CAT =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( DISTINCT ( Data[Category] ), "Sort", BLANK () )
VAR __TOTAL =
    ROW ( "Category", "Total", "Sort", 10 )
    //Sort column to be used to sort the Category column by where Total is the last one in ascending order. The rest are sorted alphabetically.
RETURN
    UNION ( __CAT, __TOTAL )

 

Sample measure to include the total.

Sum of Value with total = 
VAR __CAT =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Categories with total'[Category] )
VAR __TOTAL =
    CALCULATE ( [Sum of Value], ALLSELECTED ( Data[Category] ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        __CAT = "Total",
        __TOTAL,
        CALCULATE (
            [Sum of Value],
            Data[Category] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Categories with total'[Category] )
        )
    )
