Variance Column

I have a matrix set up like this

 

company           2023           2024 4+8       2024 5+7

 

Orders

Sales

OI

ROS

 

 

But I want a variance column measuring the difference from 5+7 to 4+8. I would want it to look like this 

 

company           2023           2024 4+8       2024 5+7       Variance

 

Orders

Sales

OI

ROS

 

Does anyone know how I should approach this? I want the variance column to calculate each metric.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You will need a disconnected table and some advanced DAX for that. In the attached example,  In-Progress is not a row in  Brand Sold column but in Status but by using a disconnected table and measures, i've made it appear so.
