Subtract values from same column

 

Hi, Is there any calculation that I can do in a matrix table that would allow me to subtract one value in a column by another value in the same column? 

 

I have attempted to do here but the values don't change:

 

(if(apps[curr_month] = "Yes" && 'apps'[app_cat] = "YTL", 'apps'[amount]

-

if(apps[curr_month] = "Yes" && 'apps'[app_cat] = "INT", 'apps'[amount]

 

Example current output 

 

App_cat Jan

YTL.       40000

INT.        100000

 

Output I'm trying to achieve. The INT value takes the 10000 from the above table and subtracts the value for YTL.

 

App_cat  Jan

YTL.         40000

INT.          60000

Need Help

    Hi,

    Assuming Amount is a measure that you have already written, write this measure

    Measure = [Amount]-calculate([Amount],'apps'[app_cat]="YTL")

      Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried this measure but all that seems to happen is my value for "YTL" returns a 0.
