Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

First of all, many thanks to  for your very quick and effective replies.

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Drag the Period field into the slicer visual.

3.Create the new measure to calculate current sales.

 

Current per = 
var _select = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Period])
VAR _curren = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Current Sales]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = _select))
RETURN
_curren

 

4.Create the new measure to calculate forcast sales.

 

Forcast per = 
VAR _per = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Period])
VAR _forca = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales Forecasting]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = _per))
RETURN
_forca

 

5.Drag the measure into the KPI visual.
