Power BI Desktop: Need help to create a report to display Data and calculate Difference.

Hi Team 

 

Need help to display forecast and calculate delta using Power BI Desktop. 

 

Example:

Table 1 : Data Display pattern

                    Jan    Feb Mar April  May  June   July   Aug

Jan Data:       1      1       1      1      1       1

Feb Data:               1       1      1       1       1       1

Mar Data:                       1      1      1       1        1      1

 

Table 2: Difference Display:

 

Same Table pattern as above.

Calculation should be as below for the cells.

Example: Difference for  Mar Data(Row) & Mar (Col) cell = Feb Data(Mar) - Mar Data(Mar)

 

If anyone has come across similar type of problem, request you to share guidelines or the pbx file. 

 

Thank You

hi, @Anonymous

You may try to use PREVIOUSMONTH to create a measure and use Matrix visual to show the result.

If not your case, please share some simple data sample with the data structure and expected output

Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

 

 

Best Regards,
