    Hi  maart666 ,

     

    Modify your measure as below:

    Difference = 
VAR thisforecastnum =
    MIN ( Arkusz1[Forecast no] )
VAR thisforecast =
    SUM ( Arkusz1[Qty] )
var lastforecastnum=CALCULATE(MAX('Arkusz1'[Forecast no]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Arkusz1),'Arkusz1'[Forecast no]<MAX('Arkusz1'[Forecast no])))
VAR lastforecast =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Arkusz1[Qty] ),
        Arkusz1[Forecast no] = lastforecastnum
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( lastforecast ),
        BLANK (),
        thisforecast - lastforecast
    )

     

    And you will see:

    Best Regards,

This measure expression will give you the difference from the current forecast to the previous one.

 

Difference =
VAR thisforecastnum =
    MIN ( Arkusz1[Forecast no] )
VAR thisforecast =
    SUM ( Arkusz1[Qty] )
VAR lastforecast =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Arkusz1[Qty] ),
        Arkusz1[Forecast no] = thisforecastnum - 1
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( lastforecast ),
        BLANK (),
        thisforecast - lastforecast
    )

 

To get your % difference, just change the Return part using the same variable (e.g., DIVIDE(thisforecast - lastforecast, lastforecast)

 

Regards,

Pat
