Calculating difference between ROWS

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

@Preetish_1,

 

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.
