    Hi chad_clift ,

    According to your description, it's related to your measure formula. I create a sample and here's my solution.

    Create a measure.

    BOM Forecast =
    VAR _Lastnonblank =
        MAXX (
            FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[BOM on hand] <> BLANK () ),
            'Table'[Month]
        )
    RETURN
        IF (
            MAX ( 'Table'[BOM on hand] ) <> BLANK (),
            MAX ( 'Table'[BOM on hand] ),
            MAXX (
                FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Month] = _Lastnonblank ),
                'Table'[BOM on hand]
            )
                - SUMX (
                    FILTER (
                        ALL ( 'Table' ),
                        'Table'[Month] >= _Lastnonblank
                            && 'Table'[Month] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Month] )
                    ),
                    'Table'[Usage Actual/Forecast]
                )
        )
    

    Get the correct result.

    I attach my sample below for reference.
