Sum Total vs a single value

Hi,

 

I'm stuck with something very silly but I'cant find the solution.

 

I have the sales for the month and a target for each month. 

 

Something like this:

 

Table 1

 

MONTHTarget
Ene1200
Feb1345
Mar789
Abr1500
May

1600

 

Table 2

 

 SalesTarget
January SHOP 11281200
January SHOP 22351200
January SHOP 35241200
January SHOP 45761200

 

 

What I need is to calculated the total sales of all the shops vs the target of the moth that is 1200.  Solution expected 1463-1200=263. Which will be the optimum method to do this?

 

 

 

Thanks!!

Your tables have to be linked someway, for example, by month (Table1 to Table 2, 1 to many)

 

Then a new measure:

Sales diff = CALCULATE(SUM('Table 2'[Sales]))-CALCULATE(SUM('Table 1'[Target]))

 

Then you'll get desired amount for all months or for selected month only.

For example, if you make a bar chart visual with month number as x-axis, and put this measure in the values, you'll get what you want

Are the months have different names in your tables? "Ene" and "January"?

Always the same, in fact i'm using the number of the month
