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.
Best Regards,
Cherry

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
