How do I calculate multiple measures based on data that ignore visual filter context?

I have a dataset storing lists of items that appeared on invoices along with my desired result.

 

Picture1.png

I am wanting to create the following measures in Power BI and display them in a table:

 

  • [Alert Total] (Measure #1) calculates the total for a given indicator on a given invoice (e.g., "B" on Invoice #1001).
  • [All Alerts Total] (Measure #2) calculates the total for all items on an invoice that were flagged with an "indicator" ([Indicator]<>"")
  • [Invoice Total] (Measure #3) calculates the total for the invoice as a whole.

I assume this will utilize a CALCULATE function in Power BI, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work as the measures always respect the current filter context.

@Anonymous try following for all alerts

 

All Alerts Total = 
CALCULATE( 
    [Sum],  
    ALLEXCEPT( Table1, Table1[Invoice] ),
    NOT ISBLANK( Table1[Indicator] ), 
    NOT Table1[Indicator] = "" 
) * 
DIVIDE( [IsIndicator], [IsIndicator] )

@Anonymous just to confirm your data is from A to D and you want to achieve F to J, correct?

@parry2k,

 

Thank you for providing that example. Very excited about applying these measures.

 

I did notice one thing in the attached file. The All Alerts Total measure does not appear to be calculating what all of the alerts total up to. For 1001, the desired result would be 43 since there are three alerts and each item total adds up to 43 (25 + 10 + 8). Is there any way to correct this?

@Anonymous try following for all alerts

 

All Alerts Total = 
CALCULATE( 
    [Sum],  
    ALLEXCEPT( Table1, Table1[Invoice] ),
    NOT ISBLANK( Table1[Indicator] ), 
    NOT Table1[Indicator] = "" 
) * 
DIVIDE( [IsIndicator], [IsIndicator] )
