Hi,
I'm currently trying to create the "Company B value" column in the table below.
We are combining the transactions of Company A and Company B into the same fact table.
Company 600 is receiving money from company 700. In the first line we can see that 600 has received the value of £2000 from company 700. In the second line, we can see the transcation from the perspective of company 700, where £2000 has left their account. I need to calculate the Diff column to show inconsistencies in the accounts, which is easy once I have the Company B Value col. Has anyone got a clue how to create this?
Company A ID | Company B ID | Company A Value | Company B Value | Diff |
600 | 700 | £2000 | (£2000) | £0 |
700 | 600 | (£2000) | £2000 | £0 |
600 | 700 | £1000 | (£900) | £100 |
700 | 600 | (£900) | £1000 | (£100) |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
This is my test table:
Please try following DAX to create new columns:
Company A value = IF('Company'[Company A ID]=600,FORMAT('Company'[Company A transaction],"£#"),"("& FORMAT('Company'[Company A transaction],"£#") &")")
Company B value = IF('Company'[Company B ID]=600,FORMAT('Company'[Company B transaction],"£#"),"("& FORMAT('Company'[Company B transaction],"£#") &")")
Diff =
VAR Diff1 =ABS([Company A transaction]-[Company B transaction])
VAR Diff2 = FORMAT(Diff1,"£#0")
VAR Diff3 = IF([Company A transaction]<[Company B transaction],"("&Diff2&")",Diff2)
return Diff3
Then you will get results you want:
Please feel free to let me know if I misunderstood your demands.

Hi @Anonymous - can i consider the shaping your data the following way:
Company Code | Affiliate Code | Company Amount | Affilate Amount | Difference | Absolute Difference |
600 | 700 | 2,000.00 | -2,000.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
700 | 600 | -2,000.00 | 2,000.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
600 | 700 | 1,000.00 | -900.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 |
700 | 600 | -900.00 | 1,000.00 | 100.00 | 100.00 |
600 | 700 | -1,200.00 | 1,000.00 | -200.00 | 200.00 |
700 | 600 | 1,000.00 | -1,200.00 | -200.00 | 200.00 |
Total divide by 2 | -100.00 | 300.00 |
