dynamic subtraction

Hi,
I have two tables, Sheet 1 and Demand. The two tables are joined. The Demand table contains two distinct economic values. the link between the two tables is given by Demand PPM and Sheet 1 DemandPPM.
according to the filters I would like to be able not only to add the values dynamically as present in the measure TotEffort = SUM( Sheet1[Effort] ), but I would like to be able to subtract dynamically by selecting one of the two values in the table Sheet 1 DemandPPM.
I attach images.

Thanks, Tz

@Tiz74 Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
