Syntax error in DAX If statement after hitting the save button

I am trying to transfer a simple formula to calculate net profit from one dashboard to another, the DAX statement appears to be correct when employed but it returns back a syntax error once I hit the save button.
This is the DAX statement:

Net Profit1 = 
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] ) ),
    0,
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Sales_marketplace[price_total] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[per_imei_repair_cost] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[shipping_cost] ),
        FILTER (
            Sales_marketplace,
            Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] <> BLANK ()
        )
    )
)

 

And this is the syntax error returned:
The syntax for 'CALCULATE' is incorrect. (DAX(IF ( ISBLANK ( SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] ) ), 0. CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales_marketplace[price_total] ) - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] ) - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[per_imei_repair_cost] ) - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[shipping_cost] ), FILTER ( Sales_marketplace, Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] <> BLANK () ) )))).

Thank you very much in advance

    You are already filtering the blank sums. No need for a calculate.

     

    Net Profit1 = 
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] ) ),
    0,
    SUM ( Sales_marketplace[price_total] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[Purchases_combined.price] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[per_imei_repair_cost] )
            - SUM ( Sales_marketplace[shipping_cost] )
)

    Maybe it will help somebody looking at this in the future. I had very simmilar issue with the calculated table. Simply publishing the report to my workspace when the formula was in the working state fixed the issue and now the error no longer appears when I hit save.
