I've got a table with the following information as below:
| Date | Fruit | Amount Sold | Sale Amount |
| 201812 | Apples | 150 | 75 |
| 201901 | Apples | 50 | 25 |
| 201902 | Apples | 100 | 50 |
| 201812 | Pears | 70 | 35 |
| 201901 | Pears | 80 | 40 |
| 201902 | Pears | 110 | 55 |
I need it represented as below with the differences on a row - not as a column
| Date | Fruit | Amount Sold | Sale Amount |
| 201812 | Apples | 150 | 75 |
| 201902 | Apples | 100 | 50 |
| AppleDifference | -50 | -25 | |
| 201812 | Pears | 70 | 35 |
| 201902 | Pears | 110 | 55 |
| PearDifference | 40 | 20 |
Any ideas?

I have a question on rows calculation on Power BI. How to calculate rows on a table? I wany to create a column called "started" as below. For each row of this column I need the results of this excel like formula on "started" cell C2: =IF(AND(B4=B3;C4-C3<1);"No";"yes")
| A | B | C | |
| 1 | part | install date | started |
| 2 | PAU-0101 | 26/03/2019 05:17 | yes |
| 3 | PAU-0101 | 07/04/2019 18:56 | No |
| 4 | PAU-0101 | 07/04/2019 19:56 | yes |
| 5 | PAU-0102 | 26/03/2019 05:17 | yes |
