    Hi AlbLS 

    I've simplified this for you, hope its what you need.

    # Entries = COUNTROWS( Entries ) 
    # Departures = COUNTROWS( Departures )
    # Difference = [# Entries] - [# Departures]
    # Difference Running Total = 
IF( 
    NOT ISEMPTY( Departures ) || NOT ISEMPTY( Entries ),
    CALCULATE(
        [# Difference],
        FILTER(
            ALL( 'Date' ),
            'Date'[Date] <= MAX( 'Date'[Date] )
        )
    )
)
    Best Regards,
    Mariusz

Thank you very much Mariuzs.

Your solution works perfectly, I really thank you. In addition, you have simplified the task because now I do not need different formulas for years and months, with your solution it works for both cases. It's perfect!

There is only one thing that I changed, I deleted from your formula the following part:
IF (
     NOT ISEMPTY (Departures) || NOT ISEMPTY (Entries)
)
Because it caused empty columns when there were no entries and no departures for a year or for a month. As we see here:

But i delete the IF statement, it works very well.

Thanks again.
