Calculate difference between two rows by using Index column

[Wickin]

Hi al,

I know this question has been asked before, but I tried them all and wasn't able to compete. Sorry!

I've got the below table (4 colums) within Power BI (just created a table in Excel to edit values). I would like to calculate the difference between values in column "Kilometers".

The calculation should only be applied for rows with the same value for column "Reference", so I guess we need to calculate the difference between a row and a row where [Index] = ([Index] -1) ?

Anybody got any tips on the DAX or Power Query code to be applied? I've created a column "Expected result" in Excel, just to clarify things.

Thanks in advance!

try this

Column =
VAR Index = 'Table'[Index]
VAR Reference = 'Table'[Reference]
VAR PrevKilometers =
    CALCULATE (
        FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Kilometers], TRUE () ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Index] = Index - 1 && 'Table'[Reference] = Reference )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( PrevKilometers ),
        BLANK (),
        'Table'[Kilometers] - PrevKilometers
    )

Hello Mr. Stachu,
I tried the above formula and it returned the incorrect values. All the valules in the column are taking the first value as a reference. Please find the attached image for the reference.

I want to know the incremental number of column 
Death Cases, confirmed Cases,Recovered CAses, Active Cases.

@usmanaziz you try to create a measure, the code you posted will only work as a calculated column

How can I adjust your formula to include data also as a criteria ?

i.e.,compare the values between current timestamp and previous time stamp,say 17-08-2019,10:25 P.M and 17-08-2019,10:30 P.M.

I have an ID Field and the glucose values,I should be capable of comparing the glucose_value,every now and then to indicate the episodes or spike in glucose level.

Thanks

the ID can be the same for multiple dates?
if yes then the difference in glucose for a given ID should be something like this:

Column =
VAR __ID = 'Table'[ID]
VAR __DateTime = 'Table'[DateTime]
VAR __PreviousDateTime =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[DateTime] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = __ID && 'Table'[DateTime] < __DateTime)
    )
VAR __PreviousGlucose = 
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Glucose] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = __ID && 'Table'[DateTime] = __PreviousDateTime)
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( __PreviousDateTime ),
        BLANK (),
        'Table'[Glucose] - __PreviousGlucose
    )

Thank you @Stachu, that's exactly what I needed!

Hi @Wickin

The image attached is not visible.

It would be great if you provide the Excel with dummy data.
