Subtract Values in one Field from Value in another field

I have two fields. FieldA and FieldB. FieldA has multiple values and FieldB has a corresponding value for each. 

I want to create another field FieldC which will hold the values of FieldA values minus FieldB values.

 

Like so:

@PowerBrowse Maybe:

Column = [Field A] - [Field B]

or

Measure = MAX('Table'[Field A]) - MAX('Table'[Field B]

or if both Field A and B are measures:

Measure = [Field A] - [Field B]

Thanks for the reply Greg but that seems to be just giving one value like an average of the values. I need to be seeing a number of separate values for each corresponding value in FieldA and FieldB.

Maybe this isn't possible.
