Calculating diviation between Column and Measure

Hello,

 

I'd like to ask a fairly dumb question, sorry.

 

I have a column with Amount, and I have a measure Rolling Average.

 

How can I calculate the difference between the two? I want to show the items who have the largest diviation for this month compared to the rolling average (the weird outliers basically).

should it be a column or a measure? can you just do 1 minus the other?

 

 

edit: edited the title to be more clear

 

  • you can subtract two measures or an aggregation of column e.g. SUM & a measure

    I would create a new measure which would be SUM of the Amount column, and subtract that from the Rolling average measure
