    Hi, alinamarinbadea 

    Thanks for amitchandak's reply. You can try the way from the link, or try to change the data model and then use the following dax.



    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8knNSy/JUNJRMjQGEUZAwsQUSBgbKcXqRCuFZ6aAZY2MIWJAJYYgLljSIzUzPaMEJAbSYQrTD1QBkg3N91VwycxNzSvOzM8DCufmohMgVX6pJQrhMHOMQGYYmcBZEIPci/KLixGKTAxh8mCWqQHcNriSdBQcGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Attribute = _t, #"Product 1" = _t, #"Product 2" = _t, #"Product 3" = _t, #"Product 4" = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Attribute", type text}, {"Product 1", type text}, {"Product 2", type text}, {"Product 3", type text}, {"Product 4", type text}}),
        #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Attribute"}, "Attribute.1", "Value"),
        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Attribute.1", "Product"}}),
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns", each ([Value] <> "g" and [Value] <> "mm")),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Value", Int64.Type}})
    in
        #"Changed Type1"
    First Product = 
    VAR _min =
        CALCULATE (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Product', 'Product'[Product] = MIN ( 'Product'[Product] ) )
        )
    RETURN
        _min
    
    Second Product =
    VAR _max =
        CALCULATE (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Product', 'Product'[Product] = MAX ( 'Product'[Product] ) )
        )
    RETURN
        _max
    
    diff % = 
    VAR _firstProduct =
        CALCULATE (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Product', 'Product'[Product] = MIN ( 'Product'[Product] ) )
        )
    VAR _secondProduct =
        CALCULATE (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[Value] ),
            FILTER ( 'Product', 'Product'[Product] = MAX ( 'Product'[Product] ) )
        )
    RETURN
        DIVIDE ( _secondProduct, _firstProduct )
