    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.

    I fixed it! the measure now reads:

     

    Available Inventory = SUMX(VALUES ( 'items'[No] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ('items'[Inventory])))
    -
    SUMX(VALUES ( 'items'[No] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ('Sales_Lines'[On Open SO])))
     
     
    Can you explain why my original measure wasn't working every time?
