Hello,
I want to put in the difference between two groups in the total header rather than a sum of groups in Row Subtotals
For example:
Below I want to take the difference between Sum(income) & Sum(expenditure) ie( Income- Expenditure ) in the Row subtotal header
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi @Anonymous
please try
=
VAR Value = [Measure]
VAR IncomeValue =
CALCULATE ( [Measure], TableName[IEO] = "Income" )
VAR ExpenditureValue =
CALCULATE ( [Measure], TableName[IEO] = "Expenditure" )
RETURN
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( TableName[IEO] ), Value, IncomeValue - ExpenditureValue )

@Anonymous This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
