I need to calculated already in a Power BI Matrix a column that is Total Value minus column a & b
a & b columns are already defined and whatever is not a & b should go to other category
Current Matrix:
shows a + b = total
a= 3
b= 1
total= 5
I need to generate other column so that it is li
a + b + other = total
a= 3
b= 1
other= 1
total= 5
Can you share some sample data in table format and show how the matrix visual looks like currently? For example, what is on rows/columns and what is in values? And what is the matrix expected to be like?

hi @JorgePerez91 have you tried to create a calculated column in your dataset where you substract the sum of a+b from Total ?
