You can create a measure to get the same resulting number in a card visual, but the measure doesn't always give the same result and would vary according to context. 

 

However you can still limit the context in the measure by using ALLEXCEPT. As to how to create the measure in your case, it all depends on your scenario. So could you post the specific problem in your case?
