Try:

 

Wholesale =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Model'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Model'[ParentAccountID] ),
        'Model'[ParentAccountID] IN { 8411, 4378, 121, 2555 }
    )
)

Thanks for your answer @mattbrice

 

I'm getting following error

 

Function 'CONTAINSROW' does not support comparing values of type Integer with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
