Calculating Differences

Hello, 

 

Pardon my ignorance, but I am in need of some direction/assiatnce. I have a table that I need to calculate the difference of the daily_%_total by column "dialer" (has 2 values, N and U) and column "dt". 

 

Is this possible within Power BI? I have tried filtering, grouping as well as allexcept without any success.

Any assitance is greatly appreciated.

Hi @MRadaci,

 

You can try to use below formula to show diff on total level.

Diff =
IF (
    ISFILTERED ( Sheet1[system] ),
    SUM ( Sheet1[daily_%_total] ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sheet1[daily_%_total] ), Sheet1[system] = "N" )
        - CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sheet1[daily_%_total] ), Sheet1[system] = "U" )
)

HI @MRadaci,

 

It will be help if you share sample data/pbix file for test.


In addition, if you mean create dynamic column/table from slicer/filter, current power bi not support this, please use measure to instead.

Calculated Column/Table Change Dynamically According to Slicer Selection in the Report.

Hi Xiaoxin!

 

Thanks for your response. I have attached a sample dataset (xls).

 

The goal is for a sliced date, compare difference in systems (N vs. U) for each category's %.
