Difference between two values when one of the value is blank
Hi All,
I am a newbie to PBI. I have run into this issue with my matrix visual
Delta is calculated basically as the difference between Date 1 & Date 2 using DAX. If there is value in Date 1 (say 100) and a value in Date 2 (70) the Delta is 30. But like the table below sometimes the value in Date 1 is blank/empty/null and Date 2 has a value and vice verse . If that is the situation I need the Delta to show up as a negative and positive value respectively.
For example (see first 2 rows...3rd and 4th row are working as expected)
| Date 1 | Date 2 | Delta |
| 100 | -100 | |
| 100 | 100 | |
| 90 | 60 | 30 |
| 60 | 90 | -30 |
Can someone help with this?
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous ,
Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you.
Create a column.
Delta_column = 'Table'[date 1]-'Table'[date 2]Or a measure.
Delta_measure = MAX('Table'[date 1])-MAX('Table'[date 2])If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide more details with your desired output(Final output in image form).
