2026 Week 25: Can you show difference from selected Sales?

Introduction

This challenge is similar to other challenges, except you’re trying to think differently. Previously this challenge would have been done with LODs or Table Calcs, whilst using Parameter Actions. But you don’t need those fancy Table Calcs or LODs to make the basis of this to work.
Yes this does contain some hacky elements, mainly because I was trying to replicate a challenge created in Power BI. Which I would highly recommend to check out.

Requirements

  • Dashboard size 1000x800px
  • Min 2 Sheets. Could be more if you wanted
  • Match most formatting and functionality – alternatively provide a different look and feel
Couple of hints:
  • Avg(-1) is your friend
  • Dummy highlighting or Filtering works a dream
  • Grand Totals are the “None Selected” Option, which may require an ATTR() function somewhere
