Paramters from two visuals

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.
