Formula Question- Variance between two dates selected

Hello:

I would like to be able to select two dates in a line graph and have a table calculate the difference between the two. Is this possible? I included a screenshot to help.

Thank you,

Megan

Thanks Channa, Is the 'budget' in the column supposed to be the values I'm using or keep it as 'budget'?

Additional questions for you sorry, I'm new to set expressions. 

I'm setting two separate set expressions or one? I'm just a little confused. I appreciate the help!

if you like to see only difference in table only one expression which is difference

 

if you like to see 3 columns Minimum from select date , max from select date and difference use 3 expressions

Mindate:= Sum({$<date={"min(date)"}>} Budget)

max date:=Sum({$<date={"max(date)"}>} Budget)

difference :=Sum({$<date={"max(date)"}>} Budget) - Sum({$<date={"min(date)"}>} Budget)

Hi Channa:

thanks for the help, the formula is stating 'ok' at the bottom however, nothing is displaying.  I attached a screenshot. Any ideas? 

Again, I really appreciate your help.

Best, 

Megan
