How to show values by using 2 date slicer

[jhobzvel]

 I have 1 table with date, employee and Salary columns like below.

Date	Employee	Salary
4/1/2023	Liza	100
4/1/2023	Maria	150
4/1/2023	Susan	200
4/2/2023	Liza	150
4/2/2023	Maria	250
4/2/2023	Susan	125
4/3/2023	Liza	125
4/3/2023	Maria	150
4/3/2023	Susan	100
4/4/2023	Liza	125
4/4/2023	Maria	100
4/4/2023	Susan	205
4/5/2023	Liza	150
4/5/2023	Maria	200
4/5/2023	Susan	200

My goal is to calculate the difference of salary between 2 dates - 2 slicer dates.

Example:

Slicer Date 1 = April 1 
Slicer Date 2 = April 5 

Then I will create a measure to calculate for the difference (Slicer Date 2 - Slicer Date 1) and the visual should look like:

Employee	April 1	April 5	Difference
Liza	100	150	50
Maria	150	200	50
Susan	200	200	0

I can't make this one to work. Any idea if this is possible?

Hi @jhobzvel ,

I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

1. Create two separated date dimension tables as below

2. Create two slicers with the date field from the above 2 date dimension tables

3. Create a measure as below to get the values

Difference = 
VAR _date1 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer1'[Date] )
VAR _date2 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer2'[Date] )
VAR _salary1 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = _date1 )
    )
VAR _salary2 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = _date2 )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Date] ),
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) IN { _date1, _date2 },
            SUM ( 'Table'[Salary] ),
            BLANK ()
        ),
        _salary2 - _salary1
    )

4. Create a matrix visual as below screenshot
