    Try the following formula

    Available Inventory = SUMX(VALUES ( 'items'[Item_Number] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ('items'[Inventory])))

Hi there, plenty of rows following the same formula. The only other colums not shown here are Item number and Item description. There is also a filter for item type category.

Try the following formula

Available Inventory = SUMX(VALUES ( 'items'[Item_Number] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ('items'[Inventory])))
-
SUMX(VALUES ( 'items'[Item_Number] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ('Sales_Lines'[Quantity on SO])))

      Change 'items'[Item_Number]  to No .. name of first field.

      If you could share the file that would be even better. Mask any sensitive data

        Yeah, I replaced the 'items'[Item_Number]  to No. Sorry I'm very new at this I don't know how to mask.
