Measure to calculate delta between selected planning version

[theunissenp]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a measure that will calculate the delta between selected planning version. My simplified datamodel is as follows:

Version	value
Planning_1	10
Planning_2	20
Planning_3	25
Planning_4	8

Result should be usable in a matrix visual:

column1: planning version A

column2: planning version b

column 3: delta 

Thanks you very much for your respons!

Regards,

Hi @theunissenp 

One idea,

create the measure

Measure = 
var _count= COUNTX(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Version]),[Version])
var _max= IF(_count=2,MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[value]))
var _min= IF(_count=2,MINX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[value]))
return
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Version]),SUM('Table'[value]),_max-_min)

Thanks! This helps a lot. One more question. Is it also possible to create a measure that calculates a difference for multiple dimension: Version, cost center and year, quarter and month?

example:

In the matrix the expected result shoud be:

when planing_1 and planning_2 are selected:

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me... I get the message that I want to compare text with numbers

Hi Paul:

Can you give sme examples of expected results? I'm not sure what you want to compare your selected value to? Thanks..
