Hi,
I am trying to make a dax measure that finds the difference between a product and its overall category (group), filtering by entire category and specific product. Below, is sample data, with the yellow column showing what I would like. I have made the following measures but they are not working. Any suggestions are welcome!
Entire Category % Vol Sales =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Volume Sales % Change vs YA]),
ALL('Table'[Entire Category])
)
Brand % Vol Sales =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Volume Sales % Change vs YA]),
ALL('Table'[Product])
)
Brand % Vol Sales minus Entire Category % Vol Sales =
[Brand % Vol Sales] - [Entire Category % Vol Sales]
Thanks!

Hi @MichaelaMul
You can try thw following measure
% Difference =
VAR _volbyentirecate =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[% Vol Sales Change] ),
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Entire Category] = MAX ( 'Table'[Category] ),
'Table'[Manager] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Manager] ),
'Table'[Time] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Time] )
)
VAR _volbyproduct =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[% Vol Sales Change] ),
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Category] <> BLANK (),
'Table'[Product] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Product] ),
'Table'[Manager] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Manager] ),
'Table'[Time] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Time] )
)
RETURN
IF (
MAX ( 'Table'[Category] ) <> BLANK (),
_volbyproduct - _volbyentirecate,
0
)
Output
Best Regards!

HI @MichaelaMul ,
Create two new columns in power query.
First column is Entire %
If [Entire Category <> null then [%Vol Sales Change] else null
Then fill down this new column.
Second Column Difference Between Product Group
If [Entire Category <> null then null else [Entire %] - [%Vol Sales Change]
Thanks
Hi @MichaelaMul ,
