Absolute at total
Dears,
I am currently trying to calculate the absolute difference between imports and exports at SKU level in the total. For the same SKU, I have imports and exports in every week. At the end of week 8, I'd like to check the absolute difference between Imports and Exports. How?

Omega,
Create the following measures and check if you get expected result.
NewMeasure = IF(COUNTROWS(VALUES(Table2[SKU]))=1,Table2[ABSDIFF],SUMX(VALUES(Table2[SKU]),[ABSDIFF]))
Measure 3 = [NewMeasure]/[ExportTotal]
Regards,
Lydia

Can you share the code for your measure(s) ? PowerBI visuals don't total up columns and rows on measures - it calculates the measure based on the current filter context.

Measure = SUMX(Table2,ABS(Table2[Export]-Table2[Import]))

Your code is doing the absolute value, then summing. You want to sum then do absolute value
Measure = ABS(SUMX(Table2, (Table2[Export]-Table2[Import])))

maybe im being daft but why dont you convert the number after you have done the calculation rather than creating absolute figures before you do the sum. ie. * -1

Can you please ellaborate further?
- vanessafvgCommunity Champion
SUMX(Table2,ABS(Table2[Export]-Table2[Import])) * -1
(but like i say i could be being daft)

Hi Omega
How did you get the redmarked number, that´s the number I´m after but can´t seem to be able to produce.
