Use Text Column to IF Statement

Hi, Im new to Power bi and tring to write a DAX function with IF condition.

Ex.

It should not give an error if you are creating a calculated column. Unless you creating a measure?

Actually I want to create a mesure. Because I have Month filter in my report. When I change Month the Value should be change.

Thank you.
