Variances (% and number) between two different column categories in PBI Matrix

[Anonymous]

Hello,

 I have a matrix where I would like to compare the CO, Gross and Net values between two different forecasting periods (04&08 and 08&04) but I'm struggling to create a measure that will subtract the values for CO, Gross and Net for all areas just like in the example below. I've shown a sample of the columns that I'm looking for. Please help at your earliest convenience.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can try this method:

Because I can't open your link below, so I create the sample data in your picture:

Then use the measure to show the 04&08 and 08&04 column:

04&08Reforecast = SUM('Table'[04&08]) 

08&04Reforecast = SUM('Table'[08&04])

Then new measure:

Variance = 'Table'[08&04Reforecast] - 'Table'[04&08Reforecast]

Percent = DIVIDE('Table'[Variance], 'Table'[04&08Reforecast])

And you can change the format here:

Here is the result.

Is this what you expect?

Hope this helps you.

Hi @v-yinliw-msft ,

Thank  you for your response. I'm not sure why you were not able to see the sample data but here is what it looks like here:

The data structure is a bit different which is part of the reason why I'm struggling with this. I created a new measure for Gross, Charge outs(dividing by $1M) and Net (Gross-Chargeouts) so essentially I'm trying to find variances between two types (04&08 and 08&04) for 3 different measures in one column. Would you have any insight into that without having to restructure my data set? Let me know if you need more info.
