Hi @Chari 

Easiest way is to unpivot the four columns in power query hense the column names would appear as values in the [Attribute] column therefore you can use it as filter.

First of all, select the four column and unpivote then in power query.

Then add a measure:

Measure 2 = SUM('Table (2)'[Value])

The result is as follow:
