Hi ALl,
I am a beginner and was trying to work out a new measure by subtracting 2 measures. To elaborate, I have a tab "Revenue" wherein i have calculated "total Revenue" measure. Similarly, another tab "COS" wherein i have calculated "total Cost". I want to compute Gross profit, but the calculation is not correctly showing the right numbers.
So my query is , can we write a measure between 2 measures:
aka "Total Rev" - "total Cost" = Gross profit
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You need to edit the relationship between two tables. Then you can subtract these two measures to get correct results.

Hi @Anonymous
Sure you can but you have to reference the mesures in the right fiormat, not with ""
Gross profit = [Total Rev] - [total Cost]
Please mark the question solved when we get to the solution and consider kudoing if posts are helpful.
