Hi guys,
Can you please help me with a dax that gives me the amount difference by week?
I have only one table on my model with the date, country, and amount by product type.
This table shows the number of customers acquired by week for a specific product type.
How can I have another column with difference of each week?
Thanks in advance!

@ROG See my article on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/3395....
The basic pattern is:
Column =
VAR __Current = [Value]
VAR __PreviousDate = MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])
VAR __Previous = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date]=__PreviousDate),[Value])
RETURN
__Current - __Previous
