Calculating difference between two values per category
I have this issue.
One (groupBy table):
week costs orderID
1 10 001
1 12 002
2 15 001
2 18 002
One order table:
orderID supplier region
001 john 5
002 sarah 6
As a result I want some visual like this (costs per supplier per week):
Week 1 2 3
-----------------------------
sarah 12 18
john 10 15
Diff 2 3
The key question is, I think, how can I create a measure or column that does this Diff caluculation.
Hi Anonymous ,
You can create your measure like so:
Costs Measure = VAR Order_ID = MAX ( 'order table'[orderID] ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'order table'[supplier] ), MAX ( 'groupBy table'[costs] ), MAX ( 'groupBy table'[costs] ) - CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'groupBy table'[costs] ), 'order table'[orderID] = Order_ID - 1 ) )And if you have more than 2 suppliers, you can ceate measures like so:
Diff = VAR Order_ID = MAX ( 'groupBy table'[orderID] ) - 1 VAR Previous_Costs = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'groupBy table'[costs] ), FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( 'groupBy table', 'groupBy table'[week] ), 'groupBy table'[orderID] = Order_ID ) ) RETURN MAX ( 'groupBy table'[costs] ) - Previous_CostsPBIX file attached.

Hi,
How will you calculate the difference row if there are more than 2 suppliers?
