Difference between 2 sub columns in a matrix

[Anonymous]

I have a matrix broken shown as such:

I would like to create a difference column that would look like this in excel pivot table:

This is how the raw data looks like:

Let me know if any part is not clear. Happy to explain further.

@Anonymous please use below measures

_cost = 
VAR _actual = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Vessel],'Table'[Voyage]),'Table'[data Type]="Actual"))
VAR _estimate = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Vessel],'Table'[Voyage]),'Table'[data Type]="Estimate"))
RETURN _actual-_estimate

_Revenue = 
VAR _actual = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Revenue]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Vessel],'Table'[Voyage]),'Table'[data Type]="Actual"))
VAR _estimate = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Revenue]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Vessel],'Table'[Voyage]),'Table'[data Type]="Estimate"))
RETURN _actual-_estimate

Hi Vimal,

Thanks for your solution. But after inserting, it does not give me the intended result either. Please advise.

I am expecting get a result like this:

Hi @Anonymous 

try 2 measures

RevenueMeasure = calculate(SUM(Table1[Revenue]);Table1[Data Type]="Actual")-calculate(SUM(Table1[Revenue]);Table1[Data Type]="Estimate")
CostMeasure = calculate(SUM(Table1[Cost]);Table1[Data Type]="Actual")-calculate(SUM(Table1[Cost]);Table1[Data Type]="Estimate")

do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution

I tried that before, but putting it into the matrix table will result in the difference appearing within each subtype, which is not whtat I want.

create 4 more measures

CostEstimate = calculate(SUM(Table1[Cost]);Table1[Data Type]="Estimate")
CostActual = calculate(SUM(Table1[Cost]);Table1[Data Type]="Actual")
RevenueActual = calculate(SUM(Table1[Revenue]);Table1[Data Type]="Actual")
RevenueEstimate = calculate(SUM(Table1[Revenue]);Table1[Data Type]="Estimate")

then

RevenueDifference = [RevenueActual]-[RevenueEstimate]
CostDifference = [CostActual]-[CostEstimate]

then visual

Hi @az38 ,

I understand your solution, so you're suggesting leveling the hierarchy of datatype into the same level as the measures so as to create direct simple subtraction.

That can work but visually will not look as structured as I intended. Is there no other way to obtain the way I like in the excel output?

i got it

duplicate data source Table1 as 'Table 1 (2)'

then create new table

New Table = union('Table1';summarize('Table1 (2)';'Table1 (2)'[Vessel];'Table1 (2)'[Voyage];"Data Type";"zDifference";"Revenue";sumx('Table1 (2)';(calculate(SUM('Table1 (2)'[Revenue]);'Table1 (2)'[Data Type]="Actual")-calculate(SUM('Table1 (2)'[Revenue]);'Table1 (2)'[Data Type]="Estimate")));"Cost";sumx('Table1 (2)';(calculate(SUM('Table1 (2)'[Cost]);'Table1 (2)'[Data Type]="Actual")-calculate(SUM('Table1 (2)'[Cost]);'Table1 (2)'[Data Type]="Estimate")))))

aaand

all fields are from New Table, of course

Hi @az38 , @Anonymous 

This is exactly I want to see in my solution . Can you please explain the 'New Table' concept in easier terms. I am quite new to PowerBI

[Anonymous]

Hi @az38 

Yes I think this is what I am looking for and it should work for me!!

Thanks so much for your help!

i think it is the easiest

but. you can dublicate your data source. make a group by vessel/voyage, calculate rev and cost difference, fill the field Data Type as "Difference" (or "zDifference" for correct cloumn ort), then union tables (initial and grouped), then add Data Type column in the matrix as columns. 

wow. maybe you could understand, because im not sure that was good explanation of my idea 🙂
