I have a data table and would like to create a new table based on multiple criteria (if it's possible to do this by grouping or modifying the existing table that's fine as well). In the new table I want to summarize by the Office Column and Subcategory column and have a third column that either has 'Yes', 'No', or 'N/A' in it. If the Attribute column is First and the Percentage is 0, then the new 3rd column should be 'N/A', otherwise for each Subcategory I need to have the Percentage amount for the row with the Second value in the Attribute column subtract the Percentage amount for the row with the First value in the Attribute column and the resulting value is greater than or equal to 0, the new third column in the new table should say 'Yes', otherwise 'No'. Below is a sample of the data with a fourth (unneccessary) explanation column to help show the desired result.
| Office | Subcategory | Attribute | Percentage | Desired Result w/Explanation |
| 1 | AB | First | 0% | 'N/A' - Percentage for First is 0% |
| 1 | AB | Second | 0% | |
| 1 | ABC | First | 10% | 'Yes' - Percentage for Second - Percentage for First is 0 |
| 1 | ABC | Second | 10% | |
| 1 | ABCD | First | 10% | 'No' - Percentage for Second - Percentage for First is <0 |
| 1 | ABCD | Second | 5% | |
| 2 | AB | First | 10% | 'Yes' - 20%-10%>=0 |
| 2 | AB | Second | 20% | |
| 2 | ABC | First | 0% | 'N/A' - 0% for First |
| 2 | ABC | Second | -10% | |
| 2 | ABCD | First | 10% | 'No' - 0%-10%<0 |
| 2 | ABCD | Second | 0% |

Hi, @mterry
You can try the following methods.
Column =
VAR _first =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[Percentage] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
[Subcategory] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Subcategory] )
&& [Attribute] = "First"
&& [Office] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Office] )
)
)
VAR _second =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Table'[Percentage] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
[Subcategory] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Subcategory] )
&& [Attribute] = "Second"
&& [Office] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Office] )
)
)
RETURN
IF ( _first = 0, "N/A", IF ( _second - _first >= 0, "Yes", "No" ) )
Table:
New table =
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Office], 'Table'[Subcategory], 'Table'[Column] )
Is this the result you expect?

I realize that including the desired result can be a bit confusing as it doesn't show the actual layout I'm seeking - this would be the actual final output:
| Office | Subcategory | Col 3 |
| 1 | AB | NA |
| 1 | ABC | Yes |
| 1 | ABCD | No |
| 2 | AB | Yes |
| 2 | ABC | N/A |
| 2 | ABCD | No |
