calculating a target

Good Morning

I am trying to calculate a target at the top level, the dax i am using is calculating at row level but then adding this up for the top level.

 

This is the code i am using

Measure =
SUMX('table',
VALUE(MAX(
    'table'[total_applicants]
        )
    )
)
 
What i need to do is in a matrix aggregate this up
Fields in my matrix are
Department
Manager
Course
then the value is total_applicants
 
The courses have an overarching course code and then subcodes, what it is currently doing is adding the subcodes together to get the overarching total.
 
Example:
 
Course Code      total_applicants 
1                           96
1.1                       48
1.2                       48
2                          50
2.1                       25
2.2                       25
 
The overarching total so course code 1 should be the same as the sub codes 1.1 and 1.2 so in the above example 48.
 
Hope that makes sense
 
Maureen

Hi, @maurcollins 

 

You can try the following methods.
Sample data:

vzhangti_0-1679037223214.png

Measure:

Total = IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Course Code]),SUM('Table'[Value]),MAX('Table'[Value]))

Is this the result you expect?
