GROUPBY with filter conditions on columns

Hello,

Is it possible to use GROUPBY with some sort of conditions on the columns?  Something along the lines of 

GROUPBY(
    'Employee Detail',
    'Employee Detail'[Cost Ctr],
    "Count of Primary", COUNTAX(CURRENTGROUP(), 'Employee Detail'[Employee Category] = "Primary Department"),
    "Count of Residual", COUNTAX(CURRENTGROUP(), 'Employee Detail'[Employee Category] = "Residual Employees")
    )

The first column (Primary Department) works but the 2nd column (Residual Employees) just repeats the same values as the 1st column.  I have maybe a dozen of these columns I want to add with conditions.  I know we cannot use CALCULATE with GROUPBY so maybe this is just the wrong function and I should stick with SUMMARIZE or SUMMARIZECOLUMNS instead?  What is best practice for grouping data like this with conditions?  Thanks!

I think you'd need to use ADDCOLUMNS ... SUMMARIZE, like

Summary Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Employee Detail', 'Employee Detail'[Cost Ctr] ),
    "Count of Primary",
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( 'Employee Detail' ),
            'Employee Detail'[Employee Category] = "Primary Department"
        ),
    "Count of Residual",
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( 'Employee Detail' ),
            'Employee Detail'[Employee Category] = "Residual Employees"
        )
)

@Anonymous , I think you can do some calculations using Earlier

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
