@ericbi,

 

Based your description, you need to calculate the difference between two columns in Matrix, right?

 

Currently, there is no such a functionally to achieve this requirement directly. To workaround it we can create calculated measure, here is a similar issue for you reference.

Hello @v-caliao-msft

 

Is there a possibility to create a flexible delta? As an example, instead of always comparing January x February, I want to have the freedom to select a month in a slicer and then the delta would be calculated.

The way here mentioned allows me to have a measure with a specific month inside, but I didn´t find a way to have this flexibility on it.

 

Thank you in advance.
