Hi @SebastianS86 

@amitchandak  GOOD ANSWER!

Here are my additions:

You can create a calculated column.

Type1 = SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Type] = "apple" || [Type] = "bannana" || [Type] = "orange", "fruits",
[Type] = "Bicycle", "Car",
[Type] = "house", "House",
[Type] = "PC", "PC")

And a measure.

Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Type1], 'Table'[Date])) 

Or do the following:

Output:

Is this the result you expect?

@SebastianS86 , You need to create a calculated column using Switch

Switch(True() ,

[Type] in {"apple","orange","banana"} , "fruits",

//add additional code

"Others"

)
