Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,
Please try this measure:
Max Sales =
MAXX(
FILTER(
SUMMARIZE(
ALLSELECTED('Orders'),
'Orders'[Category],
'Calendar'[Month]
),
'Orders'[Category]=SELECTEDVALUE('Orders'[Category])
),
[TSales]
)

Please review the attached screenshot, and use the following measure to sum based on Business Unit.
Measure Fixed = CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[BU])
BU Actual Total =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Actual]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Business Unit])
)
Similarly, in your case you can use the following measure
MAX SALES= CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[TSales]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Category) )
