You need to change your data model.

1. Select the column then unpivot other column.

2. Then create a measure like below:

Return = 
var revenue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Attribute]),'Table'[Status]=" Revenue"))
var Cost_Savings = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Attribute]),'Table'[Status]=" Cost Savings"))
var  Costs_Incurred = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Attribute]),'Table'[Status]=" Costs Incurred"))
return revenue+Cost_Savings-Costs_Incurred
