@Aruna_ln,

 

In Power BI desktop data model,  there are no orders for the records in your dataset. If you want to get previous value and calculated the different, you should have a order column. Please refer to the steps below to see the details.

  1. Edit your query>Add Column>Index Column>From 1

  2. Cumilative column
    Cumilative = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Index]<=EARLIER(Table1[Index])))

  3. Diff = Table1[Amount]-LOOKUPVALUE(Table1[Amount],Table1[Index],Table1[Index]-1)
