@kumsha1 , Try measure

if(isblank([M1]), blank(), [M1] -[M2])

 

or

 

Sumx(values(Table[Date]), if(isblank([M1]), blank(), [M1] -[M2]) )

@kumsha1 You can create a measure like below:

Measure = If(Sum(Table[M1])=BLANK(),0,Sum(Table[M1]-Table[M2])

Hi @amitchandak , i changed the calc to show 0, so the line grapgh can show future dates when just variance is used.

Thank you @amitchandak
