Hi @mdaamirkhan ,

 

Please try to separate this part separately to test whether the result is returned.

Selected Time Period =
VAR CurrentItem_ = SELECTEDVALUE('wt_fin_staging pl_sorting'[Account_ (Normalized)])
RETURN
SWITCH( TRUE(),
CurrentItem_ = "Other staff costs",CALCULATE([Total Actual],FILTER(wt_fin_pl_actuals_monthly_summary,wt_fin_pl_actuals_monthly_summary[account_description] = CurrentItem_)))

 

Best Regards,

ShundaSteph
