    Hi, SDK0415 

    Thanks for Uzi2019 and Kishore_KVN reply. The current version of the matrix does not support the use of Measure as a column, you can try the following method to create multiple Measure to be placed in the Card.

    Measure:

    Diviation Electronics = 
VAR _maxCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _minCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _maxMonthElectronicsNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _maxCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Electronics"
    )
VAR _minMonthElectronicsNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _minCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Electronics"
    )
RETURN
    _maxMonthElectronicsNetSales - _minMonthElectronicsNetSales

Diviation Furniture = 
VAR _maxCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _minCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _maxMonthFurnitureNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _maxCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Furniture"
    )
VAR _minMonthFurnitureNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _minCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Furniture"
    )
RETURN
    _maxMonthFurnitureNetSales - _minMonthFurnitureNetSales

Diviation% Electronics = 
VAR _maxCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _minCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _maxMonthElectronicsNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _maxCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Electronics"
    )
VAR _minMonthElectronicsNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _minCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Electronics"
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE (
        _maxMonthElectronicsNetSales - _minMonthElectronicsNetSales,
        _minMonthElectronicsNetSales
    )

Diviation% Furniture = 
VAR _maxCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _minCalendarMonth =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Month Number] ) )
VAR _maxMonthFurnitureNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _maxCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Furniture"
    )
VAR _minMonthFurnitureNetSales =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Net Sales] ),
        'Table'[Month Number] = _minCalendarMonth
            && 'Table'[Prod Category] = "Furniture"
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE (
        _maxMonthFurnitureNetSales - _minMonthFurnitureNetSales,
        _minMonthFurnitureNetSales
    )

Hello SDK0415 ,

You have to use SELECTEDVALUE DAX function to select the period and implement it in the Deviation calculation. 

For example:

Deviation = 
VAR A = SELECTEDVALUE(DATESLICER1)
VAR B = SELECTEDVALUE(DATESLICER2)
RETURN
B-A

This is just example. Depends on your data change accordingly.
