Hi @yashdsin,

If you want to calculate the difference for the product per month, you could create the calcualted columns below.

Please note that you need to change the data type of Index column to be whole number after creating it.

Index = RIGHT('Table'[Sales],1)

Difference =
VAR a =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Index]
                = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) - 1
                && 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( a = BLANK (), BLANK (), a - 'Table'[Value] )

Then you could create the matrix like below.

PS: We cannot achieve the same output as that in excel.

Hope this can make sense.

No, Actually i need to see the diffrence between two cells Subtracting Product1 & Product2 in cell B2 & B3 i should be getting results in Cell B4 and so on for all the columns C, D, E etc but i am getting it as a whole for Product1 & 2 respectively as a total which is not required. Please help as i am still a learner.

Hi @yashdsin ,

It seems that you want to calculate the difference between the two values.

Normally, we could achieve that with three ways. You could choose the way based on your requirement.

1. Create the custom column in query editor ( columnA - column B)

2. Create the calculated column with dax ( columnA - column B)

3. Create the measure with dax.

If you still need help, please share your data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it.

Best Regards,

Cherry

How can I attach a excel file or a pbix file in a question or reply section?

Hi @yashdsin ,

Sorry for the delay.

You could upload your data sample or pbix in OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

Best  Regards,

Cherry
