SUMX, FILTER, EARLIER column not correct type

Hi all, 

I have a problem with the formula below that should be correct but it doesn't recongnize the column name in the EARLIER function. 

I simply need to sum up the Item Value per each project name like:

 

Project Name           Item            Item Value                Project Value

A                                 1                       50                               89

A                                 2                       39                               89

B                                 1                       10                               100

B                                 2                       50                               100

B                                 3                       40                               100

 
Project Value = Sumx(FILTER('Tab_Project','Tab_Project'[Project Name]=EARLIER('Tab_Project'[Project Name],'Tab_Project'[Item Value]))
 
Any clue? 
a million thanks

@marab  - If this is a measure, try this:

 

 

Project Value = 
  VAR __Project = MAX('Tab_Project'[Project Name])
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER('Tab_Project','Tab_Project'[Project Name]=__Project),'Tab_Project'[Item Value])

 

 

Also, your original formula is not correct in terms of parens:

 

Project Value = Sumx(FILTER('Tab_Project','Tab_Project'[Project Name]=EARLIER('Tab_Project'[Project Name])),'Tab_Project'[Item Value])
