Calculated Measure

Account NameDateAmount
Rev12-Jun-18430
Exp13-Aug-17250
Margin2-Mar-170
Rev12 July 18400
Exp13-Aug-17300

 

I have a table where I need to create a calculated measure based on the below logic

 

If the Account Name <> 'Margin' then Sum of amount

if the Account Name = "Margin' then Sum of amount =

Sum of Amount when account name is 'Rev' -  Sum of Amount when account name is 'Exp'

try this

Measure =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Account Name] ) = "Margin",
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ), 'Table'[Account Name] = "Rev" )
        - CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ), 'Table'[Account Name] = "Exp" ),
    SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] )
)

if you have more cases like this it may be better to embed the logic in a new table, e.g. like this:

MeasurePositiveNegative
MarginRevExp
Margin2RevExp2

something similar to what's described here:
