Hi @FrontierGroup ,
follow these steps.
1. Add the Index column like this.
(Edit queries-->Add column--> Index Column--> from 1)
2. You will get the Output something like this: (close and Apply after these steps)
3. Now add this calculated Column like this and add the formula:
Difference =
var curIndex = 'Table'[Index]
var curCI = 'Table'[CI]
var OLDIndex = 'Table'[Index]-1
var oldVal = CALCULATE(
FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[CI],1),
FILTER('Table',
'Table'[Index]=OLDIndex))
return IF(CONTAINS('Table','Table'[Index],OLDIndex), curCI-oldVal, 0)My output based on your sample:
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
