    Hi  TotunG ,

     

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. You reposition the two columns of the Period Ref table, with [Period Ref] first and [Period Name] last.

    2. Create calculated column.

    Table 2 =
var _table1=
SUMMARIZE(
    'Table','Table'[Period Ref],
    "Period Name",
    "P_Total")
return
UNION(
    'Table',_table1)

    3. Combine the relationship between two tables.

    4. Create measure.

    Flag=
IF(
    MAX('Table 2'[Period Ref]) in SELECTCOLUMNS('MainData',"1",[Period]) && MAX('Table 2'[Period Name]) <> "P_Total",
    [Total Value],[Dynamic DIfference])

    5. Result:

Hi  TotunG ,

I created some data:

 

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Measure =
var _select=
SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"1",[Week_Slicer])
var _maxx=
MAXX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Week_Slicer] in _select),[Week])
var _secondlargest=
MAXX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Week_Slicer] in _select&&'Table'[Week]<_maxx),[Week])
return
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Week]=_maxx),[Value])
    -
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Week]=_secondlargest),[Value])

2. Result:

 

Best Regards,

Thank you - would this still work if Week table is different from the Data table but connected with a relationship and the value being filtered is a measure?
