    It looks if you use values(), you can only reference a column or a table,  a table expression such as filter() is not allowed. By the way, the output of values() can be a list or scalar data. Are you expecting scalar data? If that's the case, you can try the measure below. 

     

    LTIR Target NEW2 = CALCULATE(VALUES('Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Value]), FILTER(ALL('Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'),
    'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] )),ALLEXCEPT( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)','Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area]))
     
    If you are expecting a list from values, you might try a turnaround like the one below
     
    LTIR Target NEW Tab =
    DISTINCT(FILTER(ALL('Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'),
    'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] ) && 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area]=MAX('Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area])))
     
    I have created a test file. Here is the link.

Do you have more than one Operating Area selected? In your measure, if you select more than one Operating Area, only largest one is considered as a filter condition. Try if the one below meets your need

 

LTIR Target NEW =
CALCULATE (
VALUES ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Value] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ), 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] ) ),
ALLEXCEPT( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ), 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area])

)

    Thank you so much for the response. Yes I had one Operating Area selected

     

    I tried your formula, though there appears to be an extra ) after the first Tabular in your ALLEXCEPT row.

     

    This error is returned in my card


    MdxScript(Model) (416, 1) Calculation error in measure 'Calculations'[LTIR Target NEW]: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.

      Hi again, I just wanted to follow up. I think I've got the final solution. It's a bit beastly but it's working well. There was more than CompanyX. It was also CompanyX1, X2, X3. Here's the final code - and thank you again so much!

       

      LTIR Target =
      IF (
      SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Value Centre] ) <> "CompanyX1" &&
      SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Value Centre] ) <> "CompanyX2" &&
      SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Value Centre] ) <> "CompanyX3"
      ,

      CALCULATE (
      MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Value] ),
      FILTER (
      ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ),
      'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year]
      = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] )
      ),
      FILTER (
      'Operating Areas and Value Centres',
      'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Value Centre] = "CompanyX"
      )
      ),

      IF (
      SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Operating Area] ) = "",
      CALCULATE (
      MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Value] ),
      FILTER (
      ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ),
      'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year]
      = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] )
      ),
      FILTER (
      ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ),
      'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area]
      = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Operating Areas and Value Centres'[Value Centre] )
      )
      ),

      CALCULATE (
      MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Value] ),
      FILTER (
      ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ),
      'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year]
      = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Month / Year] )
      ),
      FILTER (
      ALL ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)' ),
      'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area]
      = MAX ( 'Targets - LTIR (Tabular)'[Operating Area] )
      )
      )))
