Help

 

Hello everyone.

I have been trying to subtract values ​​from a table with a fixed measurement (first in the ranking, second, third ...), but I can't.

I would like to know if any of you can help me.

    davorgom  if you want to compare with 6th position,  This should be calculated column, not measure

     

     

    Compare 6th Position = 
var _sub=FILTER('Table','Table'[Position]=6)
var _2max=MAXX(_sub,[Distance])
var result= _2max-'Table'[Distance]
return result

     

    This should be calculated column, not measure.

     

    Can you provide your original data, so that i can test it.

    Also I have modified my reply a little bit. Please try again.

    PositionDistance
    110.5
    210.3
    39
    47
    56
    65

     

    Create two calculated columns.

     

     

     

    Compare 1st Position = 
var _1max=MAX('Table'[Distance])
var result= _1max-'Table'[Distance]
return result
    Compare 2nd Position = 
var _sub=FILTER('Table','Table'[Position] = 2)
var _2max=MAXX(_sub,[Distance])
var result= _2max-'Table'[Distance]
return result

      I appreciate your answer. I wanted to tell you that when I copied and pasted the DAX formula, I get an error in the penultimate line. Do you know why it could be?

       

      On the other hand, I saw the two measurements, and they only differ from each other using MAX and MAXX. If I wanted to compare the value of the 6th position with the rest of the results, what should I change?

       

      I appreciate your time and knowledge.

       

      Blessings from Colombia
