How to create a calculated field for On_Hand (not aggregated) that can be used to subtract with Required Quantity in this table below:
Goal is to get a matrix that looks like this (this is from tableau):
REQUIRED QUANTITY = adding the rows for 12P9813X032
ON_HAND = the not aggregated value which is (32)
shortage = ON_HAND - REQUIRED QUANTITY
Hi, @Anonymous
You may need to replace sum with average.
Shortage = MAX ('Open Orders_BOM'[REQUIRED_QUANTITY]) - AVERAGE('Open Orders_BOM'[ON_HAND])

@Anonymous try this measure
Shortage = MAX ( Table[On_Hand] ) - SUM ( Table[RequiredQty] )
