DAX Query: Relative difference visible previous day

Hi

 

I have the following query table yet (i'm not interested in a Table or Matrix visual):

 

2023-10-03 21_10_16-Solutions_Power_BI_Desktop_DAX_General.jpg

 

How can i get a new column with the relative difference of one of the visible day with the previous visible day?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi @Anonymous 

You can use the OFFSET function.

Here is an example:

Test =
VAR SummarizedTable =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table Principale',
        [Date Commande],
        "Somme Cash-Flow", SUM ( 'Table Principale'[Prix total avec rabais] )
    )
VAR AddPrevious =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SummarizedTable,
        "Somme Cash-Flow Previous",
            -- Guaranteed to be a single row
            SELECTCOLUMNS (
                OFFSET ( -1, SummarizedTable, ORDERBY ( 'Table Principale'[Date Commande] ) ),
                [Somme Cash-Flow]
            )
    )
RETURN
    AddPrevious

I would also recommend changing SUMMARIZE (...) to ADDCOLUMNS ( SUMMARIZE (... ), ... ), but that's a best practice suggestion rather than a necessity here.
