Show difference between 2 calculated columns filtered by week number

 

Hi,

 

I have 2 calculated columns A & B.

 

Column A returns the total number of workers whose [StartDate] is in 2018 -> Made Active in 2018C = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(CarersList[CarerRef]),DATESBETWEEN(CarersList[StartDate],DATE(2018,1,1),DATE(2018,12,31)))

 

Column B returns the total number of workers whose [DateLeft] is in 2018 -> Made Inactive in 2018C = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(CarersList[CarerRef]),DATESBETWEEN(CarersList[DateLeft],DATE(2018,1,1),DATE(2018,12,31)))

 

I want to show in a matrix table each week number of the year 2018 & the difference between the above 2 columns. 

Any idea how this can be achieved? Want something like in below pic.

That works great. Thank you.

 

USERELATIONSHIP needed in column B. Used with a Date Table.

Column B= CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(CarersList[CarerRef]),DATESBETWEEN(CarersList[DateLeft],DATE(2018,1,1),date(2018,12,31)),USERELATIONSHIP(MyDateTable[FullDate],CarersList[DateLeft]))+0

Tough to say exactly. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

 

But, perhaps a measure that simply does a SUM of each column and subtracts them?

Hi @Greg_Deckler,

 

I do have the above 2 columns as measures also. 

I also have this calc column & measure to get the difference between the 2. Surplus/Deficit 2018 = SUM(CarersList[Made Active in 2018C]) - SUM([Made Inactive in 2018C])

 

The problem is how do I show this for each week of the year? The 2 columns A & B use different date fields.

Need to get a sense of what your raw data looks like. Extremely difficult to provide a good answer otherwise as I can only guess at how your data is organized.
