I am trying to add a column in a Pivot Table, that shows the difference between the max and min values within a row/field.
Sample Data:
Name State Value
Albert MA 1
Albert MA 2
Albert TX 3
Brittney CA 5
Brittney CA 3
Brittney CA 2
Brittney CA 1
Franklin AL 3
Franklin AL 2
Franklin AL 3
Franklin AL 4
Franklin NV 4
Franklin AK 9
Franklin MO 2
And my simple pivot table is below. For each Name, I'm trying to calculate the difference in the largest and smallest value per the "State" rows. I've added a manual column, "Largest Distance" to show what I'd like to return.
Where there's a single value, return 0 since there's no max/min. Otherwise, max(Value)-min(value) is what I'm looking for. The "Avg Value" column is a calculated field where the formula is =max(Value)-min(Value), but it shows 0 for everything, even when I change to show the SUM, or Average, or Count, etc.
(The 7 is from 9-2)
Load your data into the data model. (I'll assume a table called Table1)
Create a measure for the average called Avg Value using:
=AVERAGE(Table1[Value])
Create another measure for the difference value you want using something like:
=IF(ISFILTERED(Table1[State]),
BLANK(),
VAR __stateVals = ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE(ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Name]),Table1[State]),"AvgVal",[Avg Value])
RETURN MAXX(__stateVals,[AvgVal])-MINX(__stateVals,[AvgVal]))
which should give you this:
