    Create a measure called "Difference"

     

    Difference =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[YEAR] ),
    BLANK (),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[AMOUNT] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[YEAR] = MAX ( 'Table'[YEAR] ) )
    )
        - CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[AMOUNT] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[YEAR] = MIN ( 'Table'[YEAR] ) )
        )
)

    Then a measure called "%Inc"

     

    %Inc =
DIVIDE (
    [Difference],
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[AMOUNT] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[YEAR] = MIN ( 'Table'[YEAR] ) )
    )
)

    Then just shrink the columns in your matrix that have no data so they don't show up, and make sure to turn the row totals on:

     

    Oh and change the formatting/style for the measures as desired.

Hi. I would calcolate the difference between the import of 2017 vs 2016. I have inserted a column with a new measure in this way:

Difference = IF (HASONEVALUE ('CdeAuftragK'[Anno]);BLANK (); CALCULATE (SUM ( 'CdeAuftragK'[ValoreVendita] ); FILTER ( 'CdeAuftragK'; 'CdeAuftragK'[Anno] = MAX ( 'CdeAuftragK'[Anno] ) ))- CALCULATE (SUM ( 'CdeAuftragK'[ValoreVendita]);FILTER ( 'CdeAuftragK';'CdeAuftragK'[Anno] = MIN ( 'CdeAuftragK'[Anno] ) )))

as I see in the reply. The value in the column is wrong but I think is my interpretation of command. It likes on lines instead of columns. How Can I resolve? Thank you.
