DAX Formula for subtracting columns?
nielsrask,
Create the following measures in your table and drag the result measure in your visual.
totalforspecies = CALCULATE(SUM('EKRN-a482911f-cdbf-4b5f-9e2d-8cde02e7f164-31_05_2017_clean july 2017'[species-count]))
totalforblankaction = CALCULATE([totalforspecies],'EKRN-a482911f-cdbf-4b5f-9e2d-8cde02e7f164-31_05_2017_clean july 2017'[action-taken]="")
result = [totalforspecies]-[totalforblankaction]

Solution SageHi nielsrask,
If you can five us a sample it will be great.
If I get what you are talking about, why not using a simple sum but the blank.
I am looking forward receiving your sample data.
Thanks,
Hi Interkoubess, thanks for your reply, much appreciated!
Here is a sample: https://ascendaps-my.sharepoint.com/personal/nra_ascend_xyz/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=11e43268c372c4e9b993fb50592ef59cf&authkey=AXXJHAMQDq1EKMHqKJEMcyc
As you can see, I have created the Matrix table on page 2 and would like to subtract the 'blank column' from the 'total' column and display the resut in a new column in the matrix table.
I would be happy, if I could just add the matrix table to my queries:-)
