Dear All,
I am struggling to find the right way to compute a row total for the matrix table at the bottom.
My dataset has a structure similar to the one below:
dataset
While these are the measures that I am using to compute the monthly quantities for each series and the absolute difference to be visualized in the matrix:
Series A = SUMX(FILTER(Sheet1;Sheet1[Series]="A");Sheet1[Qty]) Series B = SUMX(FILTER(Sheet1;Sheet1[Series]="B");Sheet1[Qty]) Absolute difference = abs([Series B]-[Series A])
As you can see I would like to highlight the monthly absolute difference among the two series and the total of the absolute difference column. Correclty the DAX returns 0 for that row total but I would appreciate any suggestion to compute, maybe with another measure, the total of the absolute deviation (12 in this case).
what I am trying to achieve
Thank you for your help,
Rocco.

Hi Sean,
I have found a way around to solve my issue. I am using quite a long formula but it works now.
I am using VAR and RETURN to compute the same calculation for each month and then I compute the sum of all the results.
Your formula was not solving my issue but probably because I framed the question not 100% clearly.
Thanks a lot anyways,
Rocco.
Absolute Difference =
IF (
ISFILTERED ( Sheet1[Date - Month] ),
ABS ( [Series B] - [Series A] ),
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sheet1[Date - Month] )
)

Hi Rocco,
I am sort of stuck with the same problem, do you mind sharing your solution to the problem ?
