Hi,
I have a simple table with a date where the user will be able to select 2 dates and see the difference in Sum of Sales value between the selected dates as shown in the screen shot below.
User will be forced to select only 2 dates .
How do we achieve the difference instead of the sum of the selected 2 dates.
Attached is the link to the sample PBIX

Diff measure : =
VAR _mindate =
CALCULATE ( MIN ( pbitest[rep_date] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( pbitest ) )
VAR _maxdate =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( pbitest[rep_date] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( pbitest ) )
VAR _diff =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( pbitest[atr] ), pbitest[rep_date] = _mindate )
- CALCULATE ( SUM ( pbitest[atr] ), pbitest[rep_date] = _maxdate )
RETURN
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( pbitest[rep_date] ), SUM ( pbitest[atr] ), _diff )
@Jihwan_Kim Thanks for the response.
I tried creating this measure and row level differences are correct but i still see issue at the grand total of the Total (Difference).
The total difference for the 2 selected dates must be 701 as per the below screenshot
(250-149+600) but the total shows -329 (Looks like this -329 is consistent no matter what dates we select)
