Hi @jiglow3501

 

Please create the calculated column with the formula below.

 

Column =
VAR temp =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'table'[Total Sales] ),
        FILTER ( 'table', 'table'[Year] = EARLIER ( 'table'[Year] ) - 1 )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( 'Table'[Total sales] - temp = 0, BLANK (), 'Table'[Total sales] - temp )

Then you will get the output below.

Hi @v-piga-msft

 

I am working with a table with daily quantities.

 

What would be the formula for a calculated column with the daily difference of the quantities?

 

e.g.

 

Date           Qty     Diff

6/1/2020    1

6/2/2020    2          1

 

Thank you!

 

Daniel
