    Hi Anonymous ，

     

    Based on your description, you can do some steps as follows.

    1. Create a column to mark month.

     

    Month = MONTH('Diff'[Date])

    2.  Create a new measure.

     

    Test Value =

    var x1=MAXX(FILTER(ALL(Diff),[Month]=SELECTEDVALUE(Diff[Month])&&'Diff'[Cat]=SELECTEDVALUE(Diff[Cat])),'Diff'[Value])

    var x2=MAXX(FILTER(ALL(Diff),[Month]=SELECTEDVALUE(Diff[Month])-1&&'Diff'[Cat]=SELECTEDVALUE(Diff[Cat])),'Diff'[Value])

    return

    x1-x2

     

    Result:

     

    Hope that's what you were looking for.

    Best Regards,

    Yuna

Anonymous , Try a new column like

new column =
var _max = maxx(filter(Table, [cat] =earlier([cat]) && [Date] <earlier([Date])),[Date])
return
[value] - maxx(filter(Table, [cat] =earlier([cat]) && [Date] =_max),[value])

amitchandakThank you very much for your reply!

Unfortunately I get an error ("syntax for return is incorrect").

Thanks again 🙂
