Making a calculated column with two values from different days by state

Hello!

 

I'm trying to figure out how to make a column in my table that displays the difference between the Allocated values (by state) from one day to the next. My table is updating daily with new data so ideally the column reflects the difference between the total allocated from that state on the current day and the total allocated from that state on the previous day. 

 

Thanks!!

maybe you can try this

column = 
var _last=maxx(FILTER('Table','Table'[state]=EARLIER('Table'[state])&&'Table'[date]=EARLIER('Table'[date])-1),'Table'[alllocated])
return 'Table'[alllocated]-_last

@chrisjames10 See my article on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) which uses EARLIER: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Mean-Time-Between-Failure-MTBF-and-Power-BI/ba-p/3395....
The basic pattern is:
Column = 
  VAR __Current = [Value]
  VAR __PreviousDate = MAXX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Date])

  VAR __Previous = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date]=__PreviousDate),[Value])
RETURN
  __Current - __Previous
