     Hi, tlh 

    To create 2 measures to achieve it:

    _Total_Budget = 1700000

    This measure indicates how much the total budget is, and you can change it to suit your needs.

    Then, to create a calculate column below:

    Remaining =
[_Total_Budget]
    - CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Expense] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', [Date] <= EARLIER ( [Date] ) )
    )

    Result:

tlh , I assuming  you only have one entry of budget

 

calculate( sum(Table[Budget]) , all(Table)) - calculate(sum(Table[expense]), filter(allselected(Table), Table[Date] <= max(Table[Date])))

 

if they these are from different table please use Date table

 

calculate( sum(Table[Budget]) , all(Date)) - calculate(sum(Table[expense]), filter(allselected(Date), Date[Date] <= max(Date[Date])))
