Subtract Two Columns - New BI user

Dear All

 

Good day. Am new to Power BI - just getting used and watching some online training.

 

Here is my question.

 

I have two columns.

 

Each column has 10 data fields

I would like to subtract column A from Column B and have the results in Column C.

 

Can someone help me on how to do it?

 

Thanks

Sriram

Hi @sea_sriram

 

Create a calculated column 

ColumnC =  ([ColumnA] - [ColumnB] )

 

If this works please accept it as a solution and also give KUDOS.

 

Cheers

Are you saying that each column has values in 10 rows? If the columns are numeric then @Anonymous's formula will work if you create a new column and give it the formula he provided.
