Difference between two amounts (Measures or columns)

Hi All,

 

I am building a dashboard off sales data with sales values, back order amount values, open order amount values etc. 

I have a trend graph showing back order amount values and open order amount by month. 

I am looking for a dax function to calculate the difference between the 2 measures (back order amount and open order amount). Please note that the x axis is a drill down so it can be drilled down by quater, week etc. I will prefer for this dax function to take the drill down values into consideration. 

 

Please see image of graph below

 

 

  • Hi Nanakwame 

     

    Try this:

     

    Variance = [Back Order Amount]-[Open Order Amount]

      That worked Sir. What if i wanted to create the percent difference of between the two?

        Percent Variance =
        Var _Variance =[B
        ack Order Amount]-[Open Order Amount]
        return
        _Variance/[Back Order Amount]   //or _Variance/[Open Order Amount]

         

         

        Change the format to percentage.
