I feel like I am trying to accomplish something very easy but cant find the correct solution. I have a matrix with sales listed for Trust A, B, and C. I have two rows listing sales for 2016 and 2017. I simply want a column displaying the difference between 2016 and 2017 sales. Any suggetions on a solution that doesnt require multiple new columns or methods. Thanks in advanced for any help.
| 2016 Sales | 2017 Sales | Difference | |
| Trust A | 5,000,000 | 24,120,000 | -19,120,000 |
| Trust B | 6000 | 5,000,000 | -4,994,000 |
| Trust C | 200 | 6000 | -5,800 |
| Trust D | 24,120,000 | 200 | 24,119,800 |
Hi @CJANE,
According to your description above, I don't think it is possible to do it within a Matrix visual currently. You may need to find a way to show "2016 Sales" and "2017 Sales" as different columns in a Table visual, then you should be able to write a measure to calculate the difference between them easily and show the measure on the same Table visual with the "Trust" column.![]()
Regards
