I have created two Matrix visuals with two parameters that contain measures and work perfectly fine.
I want to make a third Matrix which will compare two Matrix visuals and show the differences.
When I did that in Tableau the formula was Parameter1-Parameter2, but in PowerBi I can't make calculated measures from Parameter Field that I am using in Matrix.
Can anybody solve this problem?
Sounds like Visual Calculations can help.

Basically I have for example
Parameter 1 with values:
-Sum of Value May
-Sum of Orders May
Parameter 2 with values:
-Sum of Value Jun
-Sum of Orders Jun
I want to subtract Parameter 2 - Parameter 1.
Put everything in a single Matrix visual and then use Visual Calculations.
Unfortunately, it says :
"You can't use field parameters with visual calculations."
this is correct - it's a limitation that is mentioned in our docs.
