Substracting two values in same column

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how I can substract two values from one another in DAX? I've tried various ways stated online, but to no succes unfortunately. Below a pic of the very simple table. I would like to do the following: Total 2 (2350) - Total 1 (1900) = 450.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can create this measure:

Substract =
var Total1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total]),'Table'[Index]=1)
var Total2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total]),'Table'[Index]=2)
Return
Total2-Total1
