How to subtract previous month data with specific category

Hi,

 

I'm very new to this PowerBI and I need your help.

 

So I have this data of variable cost and revenue from different products and different month. So I want to subtract the Q1 Value from 2nd month and previous month for each product. For example for Variable cost for biscuit the difference is 6000 (this month) - 5000 (last month) = 1000.

 

The desired outcome is shown on the right column.

 

Kindly need your help on this.

 

Thank you

 

 

  • Hi Anonymous ,

    Create a measure like this:

    Desired Result = 

    var previousmonthvalue=CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Q1]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Data,Data[Status],Data[Product]),Data[Month]=SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Month])-1))

    return IF(ISBLANK(previousmonthvalue),0,SUM(Data[Q1])-previousmonthvalue)

    This will give you the desired output:

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Previous month Sale= CALCULATE(SUM(Table(Q1), PARALLELPERIOD(Table(Month), -1, Month)

    Current month= SUM(Table(Q1))
    Difference= Current month - Previous month Sale

     

    Mark this as a solution, if I answered your question. Kudos are always appreciated.

    Thanks!
