Sum by codebook

Hello guys, 

 

i have two tables: 

Table 1 
TextNumber
010010        10,5
011000           11
210100        250

 

 

Table 2 
CategoryText
010010010
011011000
210210100

 

In table 1, I using Measure, to sum all numbers related to text (text are more times in table). 

Table 2 is codebook to text. 

 

All i need is to get different for example between 010-011, which is -0,5. 

But, I don´t know how.

Hi @nikca 
You can achieve it using offset fumction

The steps :

2. Calculate basic sum

Sum_number = sum('Table'[Number])
3. Calculate your needed delta
ValuesDiff =
[Sum_number] - CALCULATE (
        [Sum_number],
        OFFSET ( -1, ALLSELECTED ( 'Table (2)'[Category] ), ORDERBY ( 'Table (2)'[Category], ASC ) )
    )
