Difference from previous period in matrix

[Filipp]

Hey guys,

I have a table with 5 columns:
RPT_DATE - reporting date
POS_TYPE - position type
CNUM - customer number
BSAACID - account number
OVP_CCY - position amount

The table consists of the data as of 2 dates. I want to make a matrix with RPT_DATE in columns and be able to view the absolute difference between 2 dates on every level. So basically I want this difference to be shown like a total column, ie I want only 3 columns in this table - data as of date 1, data as of date 2, difference. I put RPT_DATE as a column, POS_TYPE, CNUM, BSAACID as rows and the following formula in values field:

test_pos = if(min(D1[RPT_DATE])=max(D1[RPT_DATE]);CALCULATE(sum(D1[OVP_CCY]);FILTER(D1;D1[RPT_DATE]=MAX(D1[RPT_DATE])));CALCULATE(sum(D1[OVP_CCY]);FILTER(D1;D1[RPT_DATE]=MAX(D1[RPT_DATE])))-CALCULATE(sum(D1[OVP_CCY]);FILTER(D1;D1[RPT_DATE]=MIN(D1[RPT_DATE]))))

It works pretty good except cases when the data as of the date 2 are missing. In this cases if function returs True and I get positive difference instead of negative:

I believe there are easier ways to achieve my goal, please suggest what can be done.

Hi @Filipp,

The reason is that one value of the date is missed in the source data. Then the MIN and MAX return the same value. You can try this formula.

test_pos 2 =
VAR maxDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'D1'[RPT_DATE] ); ALL ( D1 ) )
VAR minDate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'D1'[RPT_DATE] ); ALL ( d1 ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEFILTER ( D1[RPT_DATE] );
        SUM ( D1[OVP_CCY] );
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( D1[OVP_CCY] ); FILTER ( D1; D1[RPT_DATE] = maxDate ) )
            - CALCULATE ( SUM ( D1[OVP_CCY] ); FILTER ( D1; D1[RPT_DATE] = minDate ) )
    )

Best Regards!
