How to show values by using 2 date slicer

 I have 1 table with date, employee and Salary columns like below.

 

DateEmployeeSalary
4/1/2023Liza100
4/1/2023Maria150
4/1/2023Susan200
4/2/2023Liza150
4/2/2023Maria250
4/2/2023Susan125
4/3/2023Liza125
4/3/2023Maria150
4/3/2023Susan100
4/4/2023Liza125
4/4/2023Maria100
4/4/2023Susan205
4/5/2023Liza150
4/5/2023Maria200
4/5/2023Susan200

 

My goal is to calculate the difference of salary between 2 dates - 2 slicer dates.

 

Example:

Slicer Date 1 = April 1 
Slicer Date 2 = April 5 

 

Then I will create a measure to calculate for the difference (Slicer Date 2 - Slicer Date 1) and the visual should look like:

EmployeeApril 1April 5Difference
Liza10015050
Maria15020050
Susan2002000

 

I can't make this one to work. Any idea if this is possible?

    Hi jhobzvel ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

    1. Create two separated date dimension tables as below

    2. Create two slicers with the date field from the above 2 date dimension tables

    3. Create a measure as below to get the values

    Difference = 
    VAR _date1 =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer1'[Date] )
    VAR _date2 =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer2'[Date] )
    VAR _salary1 =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = _date1 )
        )
    VAR _salary2 =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = _date2 )
        )
    RETURN
        IF (
            ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Date] ),
            IF (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) IN { _date1, _date2 },
                SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
                BLANK ()
            ),
            _salary2 - _salary1
        )

    4. Create a matrix visual as below screenshot

    Best Regards
