    Hi pxg08680,

     

    According to your description above, you should be able to use the formula below to create a new measure and show it on the report to get the actual difference. :smileyhappy:

     

    Diff =
SUM ( CommercialBuyIntentVisits[MetricValue] )
    - SUM ( CubeData[CommercialBuyIntentVisits] )

     

    Regards

Hi there

 

Please try this.  Does your Model table have a column called [CommercialBuyIntentVisits] which is also the same name that you have one of the tables?

 

 

TableC = 
    UNION(
         EXCEPT(
                SELECTCOLUMNS(CommercialBuyIntentVisits,"Col",[MetricValue]) ,
                SELECTCOLUMNS('Model',"Col",[CommercialBuyIntentVisits]) 
                ),
         EXCEPT(
             SELECTCOLUMNS('Model',"Col",[CommercialBuyIntentVisits]) ,
             SELECTCOLUMNS(CommercialBuyIntentVisits,"Col",[MetricValue]) 
             )
       )

    NewMeasure = IF(SUM(CubeData[CommercialBuyIntentVisits]) = SUM(CommercialBuyIntentVisits[MetricValue]), 1, 0)

     

    I have used this dax query to find if there is any difference between the columns and represented it as 1 or 0, whic say yea or no. How do I get the difference in value like on 4/5/2017 I have a difference of 2. 

     

     

    Thank You
