Hi all
I have a table with two columns, one has names (18 different names), but are repeated multiple times, and the other has values $
Name Values
TOM | 12.345 |
MARK | 65.467 |
SARA | 34.556 |
ELSA | 34.356 |
What I want to do in my report is, when I select two names in a slicer the variance between the two names is calculated and posted on a card.
I tried to create a measure to find the fisrt and the last value but is not working:
maybe there is a better way! open to options
thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous try this measure.
Total = SUM( Table1[Values] )
Difference in Top 2 = VAR __Name1st = CALCULATE( [Total], TOPN( 1, VALUES(Table1[Name] ), [Total], DESC ) ) VAR __Name2ndTable = TOPN( 2, VALUES(Table1[Name] ), [Total], DESC ) VAR __Name2nd = MINX( __Name2ndTable, [Total] ) RETURN __Name1st - __Name2nd

@Anonymous what happens if not two name are selected (1 or more than 2 selected)?

Hi @parry2k
well, I was trying to solve my problem by creating a table in a measure and using the measure to bring the first row value of the table and then use a second measure to bring the second row value, therefore if more than two names are selected, the measures are going to ignore the order values.
my current measures are:
FirstValue =
CALCULATE (
[AllValues];
TOPN (
1;
FILTER(
VALUES ( 'Base'[Name] );
COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( 'Base'[Name] ))
)
)
)
SndValue = CALCULATE (
[AllValues];
TOPN (
2;
FILTER(
VALUES ( 'Base'[Name] );
COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( 'Base'[Name] ) )
)
)
)
- [FirstValue]
But using topN my measure is adding the values of the table, so I had to rest the first value to adjust.
and then: %Var:= SndValue/FirstValue-1
thanks for your comments, if you think that there is a better way of doing this, I am open to suggestions.
Fabian.

Hello @parry2k
This measure has helped me with a similar problem however I do have a question about it, please:
When the variance is negative, it's showing it as positve still but I need it to show if it's negative.
My original data:
RANGE | NEED DIFF PREV WK (PCS) | NEED DIFF PREV WK (%) |
Product 1 | -3,848 | -3.63% |
Product 2 | 488 | 0.06% |
Product 3 | 935 | 0.85% |
Product 4 | 1,008 | 2.71% |
Product 5 | 1,508 | 1.25% |
Product 6 | 2,054 | 1.36% |
Product 7 | 4,461 | 0.80% |
Data with your solution:
RANGE | Difference in Top 2 | Difference in Top 2 % |
Product 1 | 3,848 | 3.77% |
Product 2 | 488 | 0.06% |
Product 3 | 935 | 0.85% |
Product 4 | 1,008 | 2.71% |
Product 5 | 1,508 | 1.25% |
Product 6 | 2,054 | 1.36% |
Product 7 | 4,461 | 0.80% |
As you can see, it's not showing the variance as negative value (like it should be) therefore the % calculation is not correct.
Would you have a solution for this?
Thanks!
