    Hello !

    I need two compare two value between two dates.

    I have a list with brand_name, terminal_description, product, price and date, and i need to know the price difference between two dates.
    So, i want to add a new column between two dates, which will show the price difference between that 2 dates.


    Thank you !

    Hi @Damini Gohil,

    You can filter the table using the MAX() function, which will give you the max date in the current filter context.
    Then you can filter the table again to find all the dates that are less than the max date and from the filtered table get the max date.
    For. e.g. Max date = 16th
    Then filter the date column with dates that are less than the 16th and find the max of that, which should be the 15th.
    Then using the LOOKUPVALUE() function you should be able to get the prices for both and then do the subtraction.

    You will need to use variables as it will make it easier to get the necessary pieces.

    Of course this is just a theory that could work.
    If you could upload your sample file, we can take a look at it.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you,

    Hi @Damini Gohil,

    If possible please can you share a sample file with us.

    Also, the dates in question here, of which you want to compare the prices, are these dates going to be consecutive or the could be any random 2 dates​?

    The DAX code will differ depending on how you plan to make the selection of dates.

    Thank you,

    You need to setup a Dates dimension containing every date you're likely to include, and create a relationship between this and your date_col.

    Then the following should work:
    SUM(Query1[price])-CALCULATE(SUM(Query1[price]), PREVIOUSDAY('Date_Dim'[Date]))

    There are probably better ways to do it !

    Hi, I recommend creating a second table as the comparison basis with an inactive relationship. Here is a video that explains this:
