Incorrect Measure Total
It's because DAX doesn't add your rows above, instead it calulates the expression on the totals. Hence, you get 8,087.5. You need to iterate over your rows instead of looking at the totals.
Absolute Error 2 = SUMX(VALUES(Table1[PN]), [Absolute Error])

Hi agirlhasnoname ，
According to my tests, the measure you created is correct and you can get the results you want
I have created a new meaure based on the test data, you can try it and get the results you want.
MEDIAN VALUE = MEDIAN('Table'[VALUE])Absolute_Error =
SUMX(
VALUES('Table'[Category]),
ABS(
CALCULATE([MEDIAN_VALUE], ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Category])) -
SUM('Table'[VALUE])
)
)

Hi Albert Anonymous
Thanks for the response. I'm trying to get 7,915 for the total absolute error not 8,087.50.
