Difference between two variable data

Hi all i am new to PowerBI kindly help if you have any idea

I have a data set as shown below. I want to be able to select two versions data and get their difference and group that difference into 3 segments then plot them in a graph. For example i want to compare version A1 with version A6 and get the difference and group them if possible and plot them in the graph. The selection of version should be variable. Thank you in advance.

Sample Data Set - 

 

ProductMonthVersionX
AppleJul 2024A13000
AppleJul 2024A22000
AppleJul 2024A34000
AppleJul 2024A43400
AppleJul 2024A55400
AppleJul 2024A64300

Hi, @Prakash_A 

 

Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Measure:

Diff =

VAR _version1 =

    SELECTEDVALUE ( Version1[Version1] )

VAR _version2 =

    SELECTEDVALUE ( Version2[Version2] )

VAR _version1Value =

    CALCULATE (

        MAX ( 'Table'[X] ),

        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Version] = _version1 )

    )

VAR _version2Value =

    CALCULATE (

        MAX ( 'Table'[X] ),

        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Version] = _version2 )

    )

RETURN

    IF (

        _version1Value >= _version2Value,

        _version1Value - _version2Value,

        _version2Value - _version1Value

    )

If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
