    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Add the following measure to your report:

     

    Inventory Variation =
VAR StartDate =
    MIN ( Inventory[Date] )
VAR EndDate =
    MAX ( Inventory[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Inventory[Inventory (Units)] );
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Inventory[Date] ); Inventory[Date] = EndDate )
    )
        - CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Inventory[Inventory (Units)] );
            FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Inventory[Date] ); Inventory[Date] = StartDate )
        )

    Final result is as follows:

Unfortunetly it is outputting 0 when new product appears, also 0 when it dissapear. My goal is to make a comparison of changes, so lets say inventory in January of X product is 10 and in February is 0 - then graph goes -10 and when Y product in January is 0 and in Feb 10 graph output +10 ---> The if statement does not work because for new apperance it outputs a value X and for dissapearance it outputs X (instead of -X)...
