Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the sample table.

2.Create the new measure to calculate the value.

Price minus = 
var _today = TODAY()
VAR TargetDate = DATE(2024,1,8)
var _toprice = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Price]), 'Table'[Date] = _today)
var _tarprice = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Price]), 'Table'[Date] = TargetDate)
RETURN
_toprice - _tarprice

3.Drag the measure into the card visual. The result is shown below.
