How to find difference of two identical tables in Power BI Visualisation Matrix

[vivek09]

Hi Guys, I am new to power BI. I got visualization of two tables using 'Matrix' option in build visual.

1. Actual Sales

2. Target Sales

Actual Sales

Target Sales

Now, I'm struggling to create another 'Matrix' visual table that can give me difference of two tables.

3. Difference in table values.

I can't find any visuals, that could help be do this subtraction between the visuals tables ? 

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Hi @vivek09 ,

Please try below steps:

1. create measure with below dax formula

Branch1 =
VAR cur_cty =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Target Sales'[Category] )
VAR _a =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Actual Sales'[Branch 1] ),
        'Actual Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Target Sales'[Branch 1] ),
        'Target Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
RETURN
    _a - _b

Branch2 =
VAR cur_cty =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Target Sales'[Category] )
VAR _a =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Actual Sales'[Branch 2] ),
        'Actual Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Target Sales'[Branch 2] ),
        'Target Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
RETURN
    _a - _b

Branch3 =
VAR cur_cty =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Target Sales'[Category] )
VAR _a =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Actual Sales'[Branch 3] ),
        'Actual Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
VAR _b =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Target Sales'[Branch 3] ),
        'Target Sales'[Category] = cur_cty
    )
RETURN
    _a - _b

A =
VAR _a = [Branch1] RETURN IF ( _a > 0, "black", "red" )

B =
VAR _a = [Branch2] RETURN IF ( _a > 0, "black", "red" )

C =
VAR _a = [Branch3] RETURN IF ( _a > 0, "black", "red" )

2. add a matrix visual with table filed and measure, apply A,B,C measure to conditional format for font color

Please refer the attached .pbix file.

Thanks very much for this. If I have like 15 to 20 branches, do I need to create individual measures to capture these ? or is there a simpler way for aggregation? 

Thank you

Hi @vivek09 organize your data so in new column you have Branch 1/2/3 so you can slices / show it in column with matrix visual. Hope this help.
