Hello everybody! I wanted to ask for help because like many of you I come from Excel and I am having a hard time learning how to formulate in powerBI. First of all forgive me if it is very obvious!
I have two tables:
- Table A: year of entry, number of registrations. I have calculated it as COUNT(Date of entry)
- Table B: year of leave, number of leaves. I have calculated it as COUNT(Date of leaving)
I would like to create a net growth chart (Table A - Table B) but I am unable to relate the data for the formula "Table A" - "Table B" and the result of this subtraction gives me 0.
In this example it should subtract me at least 2018, but it fails to link one subtraction to another.
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance!
can you please share pbix file if possible, just curious how you are calculating variance, is it a column based substraction like below
Hi Nithinr, thanks again for your time. This is the most accurate formula I have done, but it does not work still:
Check if the relationships are configured between two tables. let me know if you are still getting the same variance.
Yeah, still same problem, thanks though! I even tried moving all to the same table so now I have everything in one table and still doesn't work
