Hi @kishoresakamuri,

 

If you create a calculated column use DAX, you can't write a expression in SUM( ) function. You can use the SUMX( ) function like below:

 

Column = SUMX('Table1',IF('Table1'[ID]="a",0,'Table1'[Amount]))

 

Column 2 = SUMX(FILTER('Table1','Table1'[ID]<>"a"),'Table1'[Amount])
