Creating a Bar chart where its value is the difference between the two lines already on chart

Hi 

 

I have some data which I have already put into a chart. The lines are completely independent and I have 2 sets of filters which control them respectively (I have attached the data and the dashboard)

 

I want to create a bar chart that shows the difference between the values of the two lines. Can't seem to get it to work? Ideally on the same chart or on a seperate chart works as well!

 

Thanks

  • Hey kash123 ,

     

    you can add a measure that is calculating the difference:

    Diff Sales Curves = SUM( 'Table Curve 1'[Sales (Millions)] ) - SUM( 'Table Curve 2'[Sales (Millions)] )

     

    This measure you can then put into a bar chart as you wanted:

     

    Or for example in a Line and Stacked Column Chart:

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
