Row Measure Difference

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to do in the same matrix what I show in the image. It is about calculating the differences between two years for different metrics, and always putting the difference between the years.

 

 SalesUnit
2019205
2020307
Difference102

 

The only solution I found was this one, but, maybe there is a better one.

 

 

salesDifference = 
VAR _year =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        SELECTEDVALUE ( dim_date[year] ) <> 0, "year",
        BLANK ()
    )
RETURN
IF ( _year = "", [salesDiff], [sales] )
----
WHERE [salesDiff] IS

salesDiff = 

VAR _minsales = 

    CALCULATE( SUM ( fac_sales[sales] ), Filter(dim_date, dim_date[year] = Min( dim_date[year] ) ) )


VAR _maxsales = IF (

    CALCULATE( SUM ( fac_sales[sales] ), Filter(dim_date, dim_date[year] = Max( dim_date[year] ) ) )

RETURN

_maxsales - _minsales

 

 

Thanks

@bestevezdyb , On of this way is use isinscope or isfiltered and move this diff to grand total

 

new sales = if(isinscope(Date[Year]), [sale], [diff])

 

or something like this
