Hi @Greg_Deckler ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add further.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Regarding your question, 'Total' has no filtering effect. Since you are also using the 'selectedvalue' function, the function returns null.

Try to modify your expression.

Measure = 
VAR _a = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])
VAR _b = SWITCH(TRUE(),
YEAR(_a) = 2024,SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Amount]))
RETURN IF(ISBLANK(_a),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),YEAR('Table'[Date]) = 2024),_b)
