Share subtraction based on Quick Calc values

Hi,

 

I have two measures that calculates market share this year vs last year based on dollar sales in each column. Share is calculated based on % of Column total (Quick Calc). I'd like to calculate [Share TY]-{Share LY} however issues is because share is based on quick calc it subtracts dollar amount between two measures and not the share difference Is there a work around this issue? Appreciate any help.

@dokat , Not very clear. Need example. But Assume you have measures like

 

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))

 

//Only year vs Year, not a level below

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

 

Then you can have measure like

 

diff = [This Year]-[Last Year ]
diff % = divide([This Year]-[Last Year ],[Last Year ])
