Summing measures per dimensions in table

Hi all,

I have a problem with showing data into a table within Qlik Sense.

I have two measures (Measure_a, Measure_b) with two dimensions (employee, week).

My goal is to get the total absolute value of Measure_a - Measure_b of all employees over all weeks.

Currently I have a master item "Delta" which says : fabs(Measure_a - Measure_b)

However, when inspecting the results it shows the sum of all Measure_a - Measure_b and then takes the absolute value of that number. But I want it to take the absolute of (Measure_a - Measure_b) of each Employee of each week and then sum it.

may be this 

But I want it to take the absolute of (Measure_a - Measure_b) of each Employee of each week and then sum it. 

 

sum(

aggr(

fabs(Measure_a - Measure_b) ,Employee ,week )) 

)

 

Or 

fabs(

Sum(

aggr( Measure_a ,Employee ,week

)

Sum(

aggr( Measure_b ,Employee ,week )
