Subtraction in PowerBi matrix Aggregation

Hello,

I have a table with the following contents:


Header Subheader Subheader2 Amount
     A            B                C               10
     A            B                D               20


This is then represented as a power bi matrix:

 

Header   Amount
     A          30
       B        30
         C      10
         D      20


I have a situation which requires the aggregation to roll up to a subtraction rather than an addition. So the value of B should be C - D (10 - 20) instead of (C + D) without reversing the sign of D. So the matrix should look like:

 

Header   Amount
    A           -10
      B         -10
        C        10
        D        20

 

Any DAX measure I can create to achieve this?

Hi @apollo89,

 

I'm afraid such a requirement cannot be achieved now. As the values shown in Subtotal row are always aggregated by SUM by default. We are not able to change this behavior now.
