Add calculated data to a table

Hi everyone,

 

I have a dataset like this:

 

SectionCustomerPL lineAmount
1ARevenue10
1AProfit4
1BRevenue7
1BProfit2
2ARevenue5
2AProfit3

 

Now I need to add to this table additional rows for PL line called "Expense" which basically equal Revenue minus Profit and only for Section 1. (mean I dont want to see Expense row in section 2) Is there a fast way to do it?

Im thinking about creating another calculated table then append it but not really sure how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

@Anonymous you can create matrix visual wiht a measure for sum to show only in case section is 1, you can change Total lable to expense in format pane.

Thanks but matrix is not an option for me. this is a small step in a very big step. I would like to change the data source with measure like calculatetable, sumarize, etc so that I can use it in my other measures. My first idea is to create another table then append it but not really sure how to do it.

@Anonymous you can surely add new table and add new rows in new table. here is quick example based on your current model. you can always tweak  as per your need.

 

so first row of union, get full table with selected column and 2nd row just filter on section = 1 and calculate the expense.

 

Expense New = 
UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS( expense, "Customer", [Customer], "PL Line", [PL line], "Section", [Section], "Amount", [Amount] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( expense, expense[Section] = 1 ),  "Customer", BLANK(), "PL Line", "Expense", "Section", [Section], "Amount", CALCULATE( SUM( expense[Amount] ),  expense[PL line] = "Revenue" ) - CALCULATE( SUM( expense[Amount] ),  expense[PL line] = "Profit" ) 
    ))
