Squaring & Adding Values from Different Rows Within the Same Column

The problem can best be described with an example below:

Table1:
Date        | group | Value

1/1/2000 | A        | 10

1/1/2000 | B        | 5

1/2/2000 | A        | 11

1/2/2000 | B        | 7

 

I would like to calculate the sum of the squared difference for each date between groups A and B. For the example above, it would be (10-5)^2 + (11-7)^2.

 

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Put below Measure in Card and you will get your answer...

 

Your Need=
SUMX
(
   SUMMARIZE(
      'Table',
      'Table'[Date],
      "need",
      POWER(
      (CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Value]),'Table'[Group] = "A") - CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Value]),'Table'[Group] = "B")), 2)),
 MAX([need]))

Thanks. I didn't think about using the SUMMARIZE function like that.
