    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Normally we can use like 

     

    calculate(sum(value),allexcept(table,table[category]))

     

    to get the value group by different category then use IF() funtion to achieve the purpose.

    But i'm not sure what you mean "which are changing though from month to month".

    Can you explain this to us and share some sample data if you don't have any Confidential Information?

     

    Best Regards,

    Jay

Thanks Greg_Deckler and Anonymous.

Some further details to what I am looking for is.

In the below table only the Personnel costs and the temps Costs are not within the -10K and 10K range. So for these 2 categories I want to return a "true" and for the travel to return a "false".

It has to be dynamic so if next month there is another category and another and another, I need to be captured to the calculation

Thanks a lot for your help
