Thanks, Zubair_Muhammad! Almost, but not exactly. I got this far too, but gave up on this version of the measure because won't actually display the grand total of just the underperforming values. If in a table I can get the expected results to appear, but the grand total for the table is still showing the total without that last filter applied (so ignoring if it's underperforming or not). I also have a card visual and since the net of all accounts is not underperforming, the value displayed in the card is not correct.

HI ChuckChuck

 

Normally you can use this pattern to get correct totals for the MEASURE

Try creating another MEASURE on these lines

 

New Measure =
IF (
    HASONEFILTER ( TableName[ColumnName] ),
    [Total Month Expected vs Actual ],
    SUMX (
        ALLSELECTED ( TableName[ColumnName] ),
        [Total Month Expected vs Actual ]
    )
)
