Hi  @Oran1234,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Add Column Index Column From 1.

2. Create calculated column.

diff between above and below =
var _above=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[production technology]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index]=EARLIER('Table'[Index])))
var _blew=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[production technology]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index]=EARLIER('Table'[Index])-1))
return
IF(_blew=BLANK(),BLANK(),
_above-_blew)

3. Result:

Power BI doesn't know what "above" and "below" means.  You need to help it by providing an index column.  Then you can write the DAX you need.

 

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to work with. Avoid posting screenshots of your source data if possible.

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided. Screenshots of the expected outcome are ok.
