Matrix total calculations

Hi,

 

I am very new to powerBi and i am trying to put up a matrix as shown below but stuck with the difference calculation.

I am not sure how to show the total which is the sum of (cat1+cat2+cat3_cat4+cat5 - Withdrawn)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

    Anonymous Do a conditional replace using power query and multiply the row where the NoticeType is "Withdrawn" by -1, something like:  Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed Columns",each [Q1 Jan Mar],each if [Notice Type]="Withdrawn" then [Q1 Jan Mar]*-1 else [Q1 Jan Mar],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Q1 Jan Mar"}).

    Then,

    Create a custom Column as 

    Total = 'Table'[Q1 Jan Mar]+'Table'[Q2 Apr Jun]+'Table'[Q3 Jul Sep]
     
    You will get your desired Total.
     
    Hope this helps 🙂

  • Hi,

    You have shared how you want the result to look not how your source data is arranged.  Share that in a form that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.

      This is how my Data source looks like.    
      Report should have the total by the Notice type issued in a quarter.  
      If there is a withdrawn the total should minus that from the sum of the other categories
