Percentage Difference for a single row

Hi there,

 

I have a table that contains 3 rows.

 

Is there a way I can show rows 2 & 3 as percentage differences from row 1?

 

Thanks,

 

JAson

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Create the measures as below.

 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[t1]))
rank = RANKX(ALL(Table1),[Measure])
perc = var onerow = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[t1]),FILTER(Table1,[rank]=3))
var restrow = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[t1]),FILTER(Table1,[rank]<>3))
return 
restrow/onerow

Hi there,

 

I want to show % differences between my control and tests.

 

Imagine a table like this:

 

Control      25

 

Test A        30

 

Test B        18

 

I want to know as another column what Test A and then Test B are as a percentage of Control. How can I do this?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I made one sample for your reference.

 

1. Insert an index column in Power query.

2, Create a measure as below.

 

perc = 
VAR row1 =
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t1] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] = 1 ) )
        + CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t2] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] = 1 ) )
        + CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t3] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] = 1 ) )
VAR restrow =
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t1] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] <> 1 ) )
        + CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t2] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] <> 1 ) )
        + CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[t3] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Index] <> 1 ) )
RETURN
    row1 / restrow

This is really useful and thanks so much.

 

The only issue I have here is that the values I'm trying to calculate differences from are already measures.

 

So as an example  (Table1[t1]) would be a calculated measure already.

 

Thanks,
