Summarize categories of different columns

[jplanellvCLNT]

Hi everyone, I have two columns with product categories... Each column have their own measure (in this case produced tons)... I need to summarize the content of both category columns and show the Sum for each category... In Excel it´s easy  using "IF" but I don´t find the right way to do this in Power BI...

this is the summary of the previous image, in this case I need to calculate the sum of MT + MT keeping the categories... My expected result its have Clarsil = 92 MT

I appreciatte your support.

I am not sure what is the dax for this MT_Exc measure, however you could just add another expression to it.

MT_Exc = (current expression) + calculate(sum([MT]), filter(table,[Product]="CLARSIL"))

If not working please share your formula for the MT_Exc measure.

I'd approach it like this: 

MT Total = 
VAR thisProduct = SELECTEDVALUE(<your first product field>) RETURN
VAR excessTons = CALCULATE(SUM(<excess tons field>, ALL(<first product field>), <second product field> = thisProduct)) RETURN
SUM(MT) + excessTons

This formula relies on the filter context of your second matrix table to find the indicated product, and apply that product filter to your second field (while ignoring what's in the first) and add the two sums together.
