I want to calculate the total for the day by subtracting the previous days total minus the current days total

 

So, you're just looking for a delta from the previous day? I would recommend using a measure for this. 

Yes, I am trying to determine the delta for each day.

 

Sample Data:

Model:

Result:

CoreyP_2-1701717980434.png

Measures:

Day Total = SUM( Data[Value] )

Previous Day Total = CALCULATE( [Day Total] , PREVIOUSDAY( 'Date'[Date] ) )

Delta Previous Day = Data[Day Total] - [Previous Day Total]
