I want to sum a column but ignore certain rows

I want to sum a column but ignore certain rows.   I know to sum only certain rows you do something like this:

 

MEASURE = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Values]), 'Table'[Location] = "London")

 

Let's say I want to sum the column values but EXCLUDE "London". Would this be right?  (Using a "!=" instead of "=".)

 

MEASURE = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Values]), 'Table'[Location] != "London")

can you please try below:

MEASURE = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Values]), 'Table'[Location] <> "London")

If this helps to solve your problem, then please mark it as solution, thanks

The solution does work as expected.  But it doesn't "float down" to the visual.  I suspect I need to look at another nesting with some of the filter functions (ALLFILTER or whatever...).   But your answer did get me to where I "thought" I needed to go. Thanks. That much closer...

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
