Fixing total Measure Time off

I have a table GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY:
 
rmeng_0-1689358577576.png

I need 2 measures: 

# Time Off = SUM(GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[TOT_HOURS]) -- this is easy

# Working Time =
 8-
SUMX(
    SUMMARIZE(
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY,
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[COUNTRY],
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[TERR_TA],
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[TOT_TERRITORY],
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[TOT_DATE],
        GLBL_TIMEOFF_TERRITORY[TOT_HOURS]
    ),
    [# Time Off]
)
It´s working well in the row context but not in filter context
The problem is the total = -34 should be 14. 
Could you help me to fix this measure

Hi @rmeng ,

Why you say the Total for "# Working Time" should be 14, for "# Working Time" measue in the table visual will return the same value with "# Time Off " measure, the Total value will be "8-40=-32".

According to your dax formual, there is correct.
