Difference between two values in same column

Looking for a way in Power BI to calculate the difference between values in the same column. Need the day over day change to the remaining duration. I have a formula that works but an issue has come up when durations are actually increased.  I would prefer to not show negative change and the change be based off the original duration only. Please see existing formula and example data below.

Hi @Daxtothemax ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a measure.

Diff2 =
VAR _Diff =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'DS'[Hrs] ),
        FILTER (
            'DS',
            'DS'[Task] = EARLIER ( 'DS'[Task] )
                && 'DS'[Date] = MINX ( ALL ( 'DS' ), 'DS'[Date] )
        )
    ) - 'DS'[Hrs]
RETURN
    IF ( _Diff < 0, 0, _Diff )

Get the expected result.

@v-yanjiang-msft thank you for this! It's getting closer.  The only issue is that I need the difference between each date.  So example below Task C should equal 8 comparing to the previous date.  Any ideas on this?
