Hello.

I have [Total Wgt] and [Total Wgt Last Year].
Got the difference/variance by: Variance Wgt Against LY:=[Total Wgt]-[Total Wgt Last Year]
If Total Wgt is 2000 and Total Wgt Last Year is 5000, i expect -3000 as a result. But it's only giving me 0.
Is there additional formula i have to include?

Also, how can I get the red color on negative numbers or percentages in power pivot?

Thank you to all who can help.

I'm gonna have to see this one :) My only guess is that we are talking about measures (calculated fields) and that while and individual delta may be negative... in aggregate it is not.
