calculate difference between two rows in a matrix
I am recreating a set of excel charts and tables into PowerBi (which may be my problem)
I have a number of tables which I am building as Matrixes and am having trouble with summing the results
Each matrix is quite small the columns ranging from April to March (as the financial Year)
and the rows are 2 for example 2018, 2019
the values are then a sum of the sales
What I am in need of help with is creating a 3rd row which for example gives the difference by subtracting September from August
and a 4th row which for example gives the %difference by dividing September from August - 1
Example of Excel Table I am trying to replicate
Any help gratefully received

Hi LUCASM ,
You can consider adding measure formula with if statements to replace your value field.
Measure = CALCULATE ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount] ), Table[Type] = "Forecast(Sep)" ) - CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount] ), Table[Type] = "Forecast(Aug)" ), ALLSELECTED ( Table ), VALUES ( Table[FisalDate] ), VALUES ( Table[Date] ) )If above not help, please share some sample data for test.
