Hi everyone,
I am new to Power BI and DAX and I'm finding it difficult to find the difference between two rows.
As shown in the sample data, I have many Machine codes, and cumulative values of thier operating hours and cycles are available in the table. The data is in no particular order, and I would like to be able to find the hours and cylces for a particular month by calculating the difference between two consecutive months as a Calculated Column or a Measure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Preetish
Solved! Go to Solution.
You may create calculated columns as shown below.
CurrentDate =
DATEVALUE (
RIGHT ( Table1[Date], 4 ) & "-"
& MID ( Table1[Date], 4, 2 )
& "-"
& LEFT ( Table1[Date], 2 )
)
Difference =
VAR Prev =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table1[Values] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[MC Code], Table1[Type] ),
PREVIOUSMONTH ( Table1[CurrentDate] )
)
RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK ( Prev ), BLANK (), Table1[Values] - Prev )

Thank you @vanessafvg, I tried it but I did not know how to filter the data.
Thank you very much @v-chuncz-msft , your recommendation works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.
