Measure Parameter - Take Difference between two Measure Parameters

Hi,

 

Is it possible to have a measure to take the difference of the two parameters in a visual?

 

I have sales measures for each year going back as far as 5 years. I'm planning on put two parameters into a matrix or table so the end user can select the two years of sales they want to compare. Is it possible to have a measure to just take the difference of the two parameters without have to build out the measures separately and doing something like Switch depending on selection?

hi @loafers 

seems yes, just try it.

e.g.

Diff =

CALCULATE([measure], data[year]=SELECTEDVALUE(parameter1[parameter1]))

-

CALCULATE([measure], data[year]=SELECTEDVALUE(parameter2[parameter2]))
