How to keep filters when calculating on similar items in one column.

Dear Comminity,

 

Please help me to resolve problem with one calculation. I am trying to compare two values: stock and order qty per ITEM.

It calculates correctly only on ITEM level, not working when trying to sum up on higher levels (loosing filters?). My core data looks very simple:  LEVEL, ITEM, QTY, TYPE (stock or order qty).

On summary level my calculation shows me wrong results:

LEVELITEMSTOCKORDERwhat will stay on stock CURRENT:what will stay on stock DESIRED:
AAAA2071313
AAAH 10000
AAA TOTAL 20107013
BBBB101200
BBBC10029898
BBBD600 600600
BBB TOTAL 71014696698
GRAND TOTAL 730121609711

Hope someone can help me! Many thanks!

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
