Comparing data to a base year, calculate difference and % change
Hi there,
I have data value for each date 2019-2024, and I want to show monthly average and % change vs the average from same month in 2019 (as a base year). I have a date column (date format) and a year column (number format). I am using the following formula:
Average for each month: This shows the average for whole of 2019 year , not the specific month in 2019 ?
lbendlin , thanks for your concern about this case. I tried to create a sample data myself based on the user's requirement and implemented the result. Please check if there is anything that can be improved. Here is my solution:
Hi dp_75 ,I created some data:
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Create measure.
Calc 2019 Avg = AVERAGEX( FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Year]=2019&&'Table'[Month]=MAX('Table'[Month])),[Value])Avg Value vs 2019 avg = DIVIDE( AVERAGEX('Table',[Value]),[Calc 2019 Avg])-12. Result:

many thanks - that solution works.
I also found this similar DAX expression works:
Avg Value 2019 = CALCULATE (AVERAGE ( 'All data'[Value] ),FILTER (ALL ( 'All data' ),'All data'[Date].[Month]= MAX ( 'All data'[Date].[Month] )&& 'All data'[Date].[Year] = 2019 ))
