Subtracted value on Matrix or Table

Hi,

 

Is it possible to show the subtracted value on a matrix or a table for a measured value instead of the TOTAL.

(onsite%new =DIVIDE(SUM(date_detail[tot_num_onsite]),SUM(date_detail[Total OTV]))

 

Would like to see this (76.25 - 76.96 = - 0.71)

 

 

Thanks,

Seema Rajan.

    sraj there are a few ways to do this, a simple one would be like this:

     

    New Onsite % Measure = 
IF ( 
      HASONEVALUE ( YourTable[YearColumn] ), 
      [Onsite %new], 
      CALCULATE ( [Onsite %new], YourTable[YearColumn] = 2021 ) -
      CALCULATE ( [Onsite %new], YourTable[YearColumn] = 2020 ) 
)

     

    Now use this measure in the matrix, few problems with this solution is that year is used as a fixed value in the measure and not very scalable but at least this will get you started.

    sraj did you tried the measure I provided, turn on the total and it should work.

    parry2k  for some reason I am unable to respond to your reply.  That worked wonderfully, is it possible to do the same with some total numbers in place of the percent value in the measure you provided?

    sraj you can put whatever logic you want in the else condition.

      I am unable to respond again to your response and very new to all this...learning as it goes. 
      Can you please specify how I can add the else value?

    New Onsite % Measure = 
IF ( 
      HASONEVALUE ( YourTable[YearColumn] ), 
      [Onsite %new], 
      <<this is the else part, write whatever code you want here, and it will show in the total line>>
)
