Subtract from two selected columns

[Syndicate_Admin]

Good afternoon

I would like to draw a graph in which the line obtained is the subtraction of two selected columns. Should you do it with DAX? Taking into account that you must change depending on the columns you select.

Thanks a lot.

Hi @cdoblare28 ,

You can refer the following links to get it:

Calculate Difference Between Two Columns in Power BI Matrix

Matrix Visual: Subtracting two Columns

2020 = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=2020),'Table'[Value])

2021 = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=2021),'Table'[Value])

Variance = [2021] - [2020]

subtract two values in a graph

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

diff = SUM(Sales[Sales Amount])- [Year behind Sales]

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file.
