How to substract Matrix1 from Matrix2 to get Matrix3 visuals

[timmyeal]

I want to achieve the third matrix (Matrix1 - Matrix2) in power bi. Is it possible?

@timmyeal you do need to select a date or month to give context to the previous month, try selecting a date and then check the result.

@timmyeal are you selecting a date for the current month ??

It works when adding date slicer.. Thanks

No, I'm not selecting date

@timmyeal this is simply a time intelligence functionality. You need to add a date dimension in your model and then create a previous month measure and subtract it from the current month and that will do it. To add a date dimension, check my blog post here.

I created priorMonth as Calculate([Total Value], PreviousMonth(Date[Date]) but it is empty in matrix visual but in table visual, it appears with dates values. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
