Hi there Power BI Community.... I need your help, please.
I need to create a measure that subtracts the preceding column from the next and displays the answers only (in bold red below).
Example
1st row:
May-19 14 - 6 = 8, 6 - 5 = 1, 5 - 4= 1, 4 - 4= 0, 4 - 4= 0
2nd Row
Jun -19 158 - 123= 35, 123 - 115= 8, 115 - 101 = 14
and so forth for each row and column.
Here's a Matrix view of the data.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Here is your measure:
Measure =
VAR CV = MAX(Table1[Value])
VAR D = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Day])+1
RETURN
CV-
CALCULATE(
MAX(Table1[Value]),
Table1[Day] = D,
ALLSELECTED(Table1[Day])
)

Thanks Fowmy,
The measure worked like a charm. I just inserted the portion to accommodate the blanks on my data set.
Previous Index Policies =
VAR CV = [Bank Submissions]
VAR D = SELECTEDVALUE('Ongoing & Unpaid Data Revised'[Index])+1
RETURN
CV-
CALCULATE(
[Bank Submissions],
'Ongoing & Unpaid Data Revised'[Index] = D && CV <> BLANK(),
ALLSELECTED('Ongoing & Unpaid Data Revised'[Index]))
