Hi,
we're currently switching from Qlik into Power BI, and we're facing with such problem.
We load several files into one table (simple example below)
What we want to achieve is to allow user choose 2 different File names and compare (eg. subtract) all measures (Sell in the example).
In QlikView we had 2 list of 'File name' and use Alternate states.
In Power BI I tried to create 2 Fields with 'File name' each, create a Measure getting selected value from each, and finally use CALCULATE formula but I'm not able to put just created measure.
In other words how to make above red values dynamically choosing by user.
Here is excel based solution
I will appreciate any help
Thank you!
Maciej
Hi @mbylicki ,
The Dax function of Selectvalue is suitable for single sign-on. It is suitable for when only one is selected, there will be a value, otherwise there will be no value
For example: I need to select a month and display the value of the previous month, this can use selectvalue
Dax formula:
Measure =
var _1=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[month])
var _2=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[month]=_1-1))
return _2
Put month into slice and measure into card. By selecting May, the amount in April is displayed

Hi @mbylicki ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create measure.
compara =
var _max = MAX('Table'[File name])
var _min = MIN('Table'[File name])
return CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sell]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Client]),FILTER('Table','Table'[File name]=_max)) - CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sell]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Client]),FILTER('Table','Table'[File name]=_min))
2. Result.

Thank you v-yangliu-msft
I modified Your solution using 2 independent slicers, so also measure You created in changed from "MAX/MIN" to "SELECTEDVALUE" but Your formula stoped working 😞 Could you please check what I'm doing wrong.
I share modified PBIX here
