Please help...
I am currently running through a similar issue, in that I would like to display the differences between values.
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5
200 100 350 900 800
Diff: -100 +250 +550 -100
Please help. I would real really appreciate the assistance.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try and create this calculated column
Calculated column = VAR RowAbove= CALCULATE ( SUM (Table[Value]), FILTER (Table, Table[Index] = EARLIER (Table[Index]) - 1)) RETURN Table[Value] - RowAbove
@PowerEnthusiast - It would be straightforward to create a new Calculated Column for each of those values - is that what you're looking for? If so, here is an example:
Diff One vs Two = [Column 1] - [Column 2]
If that is not what you're looking for, could you please elaborate on the desired behavior?
Cheers,
Nathan
Thank you for the reply.
Apologies, I am new to all this.
I have various account names that needed to be sorted, so I included an index field. Then I wanted to calculate the difference between the Account Names, but ensuring that the difference is calculated in the order as shown below.
