Certainly! To subtract a measure value from a column value in Power BI using DAX, you can create a new calculated column or use a measure to perform the subtraction.
Here's how you can do it:
Using a Calculated Column:
- Create a new calculated column: Go to your table in the Data view.
- Right-click on the table name and select New Column.
- Use the DAX formula to subtract the measure value from the DocTotal column. Let's say your measure is named MeasureValue, then the formula would be:
DAX:
NewColumn = [DocTotal] - MeasureValue
Using a Measure:
If you prefer to use a measure (which is more dynamic than a calculated column), you can create a new measure to calculate the difference between the DocTotal column and the measure value.
- Go to the Modeling tab in the Power BI Desktop.
- Click on New Measure.
- Enter the following DAX formula:
DAX:
Difference = SUM('YourTableName'[DocTotal]) - MeasureValue
- Here, replace 'YourTableName' with the name of your table and MeasureValue with the name of your existing measure.
Remember, the approach you choose (calculated column vs. measure) depends on your specific requirements. Calculated columns add data to your table, while measures are calculated on the fly based on the context of your report. If you want the subtraction to be dynamic and change based on filters or slicers, then using a measure is more appropriate.
