Subtraction of rows based on nested index

Hello!

Below is my sample dataset. I would like to create the 'Calculation' column which subtracts the subsequent values for each ID.

IDIndexValueCalculation
A1100100-0  = 100
B1250250-0 = 250
A2300300-100 = 200
B2600600-250 = 350
A3350350-300=50


Thanks in advance,
P.S new to DAX and Power BI

Hi @Zabeer 

Try this for your calc column:

New Col = 
VAR previous_ =Table6[Index]-1
RETURN
Table6[Value]- CALCULATE(DISTINCT(Table6[Value]), Table6[Index]=previous_,ALLEXCEPT(Table6, Table6[ID]))

 

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving kudos if posts are helpful.

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.
