Hi, @pang22 

 

Sample data:

vzhangti_0-1698833065366.png

Measure = 
Var _N1=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Month]),[Type]="OPN"))
Var _N2=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Qty]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Month]),[Type]="Order OH"))
Return
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Type]),SUM('Table'[Qty]),_N1-_N2)

measures need aggregations.  So instead of saying

 

measure = [Column1]-[Column2]

 

you need to say

 

measure = sum(Table[Column1])-sum(Table[Column2])
