Creating a new measure for subtraction

[yuvanne_11]

Hello,

I am trying to create a new measure: 

ABS Value = Actual - Total, this is the formula I used but it gives me an error saying that the table name cannot be recognized or not found.

I also changed the summarization category to 'sum'. I guess the syntax is wrong. If anyone could help me with this it would be great.

Thanks!

Hi,

Without seeing the data model, I am not sure whether I understood your question correctly, but please try the below measure.

New Measure: =
SUMX ( 'TableName', 'TableName'[Actual] - 'TableName'[Total] )

Also, I tried using subtraction, I used this formula 

Forecast Accuracy = SUMX(1- ('Forecast Pivot','Forecast Pivot'[ABS Value]/'Forecast Pivot'[Actual]))

But it gives me an error that 'Operator or expression '( )' is not supported in this context. May I know what the mistake I did in this?

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

I am not sure by only seeing the measure, but please try the below.

Forecast Accuracy =
SUMX (
'Forecast Pivot',
1 - ( 'Forecast Pivot'[ABS Value] / 'Forecast Pivot'[Actual] )
)

Thank you for your help.

I did try using this formula but not getting any results. Attaching pic for reference. I am trying to predict sales for future using forecast accuracy.
