Difference between two columns on a filtered matrix

hi all 

 

 

Below is a matrix that has values for three distinct columns "ACT" "LY" "RF4", the 3 columns are selected filters from the same column of the source data. I want to calculate the difference between 1) ACT and LY,  2) LY and RF4. How do I insert the calculated columns into this matrix that is currently filtered?

Any help (with step by step visuals) is appreciated as I do not have much experience with DAX.

 

Thanks

Hi @teomelis,

 

Please refer to my reply in this similar thread: How can I calculate % from 2 columns 1 and 2 where 1,2 are the periods of time (year, months, etc)

 

We can add the Difference column into matrix, but it is not possible to dynamically show/hide the column based on slicer selection.

Create 2 calculated columns:

1. To calculate difference between ACT and LY

2. To calculate difference between LY and RF4
