Hi @AllG,

 

Add an index column in Query Editor mode. Before adding an index column, please sort data based on week number column.

Close and apply all these operations. But if [Column1] values are whole number type rather than text, there is no need to do above changes.

 

In design surface, add a calculated column using below formula:

variance of booking amt =
IF (
    'booking amt'[Column1] = "Week1",
    BLANK (),
    LOOKUPVALUE (
        'booking amt'[Column2],
        'booking amt'[Index], 'booking amt'[Index] - 1
    )
        - 'booking amt'[Column2]
)
