How to correctly implement an else statement on a filtered measure

Hello there, 

Currently I have a dashboard that when a Deal is filtered, it shows me the correct loss figure (as shown below):

However, when a Deal is unselected, the total loss will go to 0, as shown below:

This is because of the measure I have put in place for Total Loss which is this: 

DealPO = IF(ISFILTERED('Deals (CRM)'[Deal Name]),[VO PO Total],BLANK())


But how can I correctly enter an else statement or something that will show the a default value if a Deal isn't selected? Which is [PO Billed] a measure.

I tried implementing this but it didn't work.  

DealPO = IF(ISFILTERED('Deals (CRM)'[Deal Name]),[VO PO Total],BLANK()) ELSE [PO Billed]

 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

@Anonymous I guess this is what you need:

 

DealPO = IF(ISFILTERED('Deals (CRM)'[Deal Name]),[VO PO Total],[PO Billed])
