Hi @Kpham ,

According to your screen shots, it seems you want to display the data from two fields into one field and the data from another field display in subtotal row. You can create a measure as below and put this new created measure to replace the field Material Description and Project Definition:

NmDes&pDef =
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Sales'[Sales Order] ) && NOT ( ISINSCOPE ( 'Sales'[Item] ) ),
    MAX ( 'Sales'[Project definition] ),
    MAX ( 'Sales'[Material Description] )
)

@Kpham ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?

 

see if this can help
