    Hi Qazybek,

     

    Did you mean unselected items?  If this is a case, you can use dax formula to get reverse selection items to calculate unselected part.

    Sample measure:

    measure =
VAR list =
    ALLSELECTED ( Table[Column] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table[Amount] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Table ), NOT ( Table[Column] IN list ) )
    )

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Thank you for the reply! Somehow formulas on my Excel sheet disappeared, so I updated the link :)

       

      I think that I am very close to the final solution but can't get the final calculation. The error is a circular dependency.

      Is there any way to make it differently?

        HI Qazybek,

         

        There are lot of difference in dax formula between power bi and excel pivot table, some functions only available to excel and some dax functions only works on power bi side.

         

        I don't think a complex formula can works well on them at same time. Can you please share a sample file to test?

         

        In addition, you can also take a look at following links about circular dependency:
