Dynamic Row Calculation

Hi,

I am having a brain block, trying to get this to work. I am trying to get the difference between each set of 'vehicle plate no', current mileage (based on rank).

Entries of the same 'vehicle plate no' will increase each month. Therefore the "Gen Difference" DAX needs to be dynamic.

 

This is an example of what I am trying to achieve.

DAX(Measure)

 

  • Rank = RANKX(FILTER('mMjIms8','mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No]=EARLIER('mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No])),'mMjIms8'[Created At],,DESC,Dense)
  • Gen Difference =
    VAR _RANK1GenHours =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( mMjIms8[Current Mileage]),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( mMjIms8 ),
                'mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No] = MAX ( 'mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No])
                    && 'mMjIms8'[Rank] = 1
            )
        )
    VAR _RANK2GenHours =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( mMjIms8[Current Mileage]),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( mMjIms8 ),
                'mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No] = MAX ( 'mMjIms8'[Vehicle Plate No])
                    && 'mMjIms8'[Rank] = 2
            )
        )
        RETURN
        IF (
            SUM ( 'mMjIms8'[Rank] ) = 1,
            IF ([_RANK1GenHours] = ABS( _RANK1GenHours - _RANK2GenHours ),Blank() ,ABS( _RANK1GenHours - _RANK2GenHours )),
            BLANK ()
        )

 

Rank's DAX is working perfectly fine but I couldn't get "VAR _RANK2GenHours" to automatically deduct 1 on each row.

I have tried "&& 'mMjIms8'[Rank] = 'mMjIms8'[Rank]-1, but this results in the entire column being blank.

What am I missing over here? 🙏

expected result measure: =

    SUM ( mMjIms8[current_mileage] )
VAR _previous =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( mMjIms8[current_mileage] ),

            -1,
            SUMMARIZE (

Try

Gen Difference =
VAR FirstEntry =
    INDEX (
        1,
        ALLSELECTED ( mMjIms8 ),
        ORDERBY ( mMjIms8[Created At], DESC ),
        PARTITIONBY ( mMjIms8[Vehicle Plate No] ),
        MATCHBY ( mMjIms8[Vehicle Plate No] )
    )
VAR SecondEntry =
    INDEX (
        2,
        ALLSELECTED ( mMjIms8 ),
        ORDERBY ( mMjIms8[Created At], DESC ),
        PARTITIONBY ( mMjIms8[Vehicle Plate No] ),
        MATCHBY ( mMjIms8[Vehicle Plate No] )
    )
VAR FirstMileage =
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( FirstEntry, mMjIms8[Current Mileage] )
VAR SecondMileage =
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( FirstEntry, mMjIms8[Current Mileage] )
VAR Result = FirstMileage - SecondMileage
RETURN
    Result
