Help with DAX
If you're writing a measure, then you can't refer to a raw column since it doesn't know which values from that column you want are, so you need to use some kind of aggregation.
Assuming there actually is a column named STATUS in the table 'EWW 2022', you can write
IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'EWW 2022'[STATUS] ) = "REALIZACJA", SUM ( 'EWW 2022'[TURNOVER] ) )However, the error message associated with the common DAX mistake above is different.
Are you sure STATUS is actually a column on 'EWW 2022' and not a different table and that there aren't extra spaces or something similar in the name?

Were you trying to sum the turnover column only where the status of each row equaled REALIZACJA?
If so I think the following is what you want:
CALCULATE(
SUM ( 'EWW 2022'[TURNOVER] ),
'EWW 2022'[STATUS] = "REALIZACJA"
)
CALCULATE lets you add a filter in directly (amoungst other things!) rather than relying on a slicer etc.
