Hi All,

 

I am looking for difference between two values like q2 and a3 cycles result should display the difference values based on the filter selected.

Hi @Naveen_SV ,

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

1. Create a calculated table: Table 2

Table 2 = UNION(VALUES('Table'[Cycle]),ROW("Cycle","XDifference"))

2. Create measures to get the sum amount and difference

Measure = 
 VAR _sAmountofQ1=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) &&'Table'[Cycle]="Q1"))
 VAR _sAmountofQ2=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) &&'Table'[Cycle]="Q2"))
 VAR _sAmountofQ3=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) &&'Table'[Cycle]="Q3"))
 VAR _sAmountofQ4=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table','Table'[ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) &&'Table'[Cycle]="Q4"))
return  SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Cycle] ),
        "XDifference",_sAmountofQ4-_sAmountofQ3-_sAmountofQ2-_sAmountofQ1,
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] )&&'Table'[Cycle]=MAX('Table 2'[Cycle]) )
        )
    ) 
Difference = SUMX(VALUES('Table'[ID]),[Measure]) 

3. Create a matrix visual (Rows: ID   Column: field Cycle of Table 2  Values: [Difference] )

Hi @Naveen_SV ,

What's your expected result? Whether the below table is what you want? If yes, you can refer the following threads to get it.

ID Q1 Q2 Q3 difference
23   245   245
24 45   27.89 -17.11
25 99.9     99.9

Subtract values in a measure for different categories

Hi , Great answer. I have different query regarding this.

you are doing Q4 as base (q4-q3-q2-q1). If I'm selecting the filter Q3 & Q2 ,it should take Q3 is base (I need answer like Q3 - Q2 ) not like (-q3-q2).

same way for ,if  I'm selecting q2 and q1 in filter , it should show q2-q1 (not like -q2-q1).

How to do this ?please help me out guys🙏

@Anonymous  thanks it worked
