    Hi Jaromir,

     

    You could create calculated measure for "Total sales to previous date":

     

    Prev Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales]),PREVIOUSDAY(Sales[Date]))

    Create calculated measure for stock differences between days:

     

    stock differences between days = sum(Sales[Sales])- [Prev Sales]

     

     

     

    If this works for you please accept it as solution and also like to give KUDOS.

    Best regards
    Tri Nguyen

Hi tringuyenminh92,

 

thanks for your response. I have created a calculated measure as you suggested:

 

PrevStock = CALCULATE(SUM('data'[stock]); PREVIOUSDAY('data'[date]))

But it only returns empty field. I have checked and there is a row with a previous day date. What could I be doing wrong?

 

Thanks again.

I found the problem, had to use PREVIOUSDAY('data'[date].[Date]).
