Display the different.

Hello Community,

 

I need help with displaying a result that shows the different between two years for the same period. For example, the difference of sold items between 2022 Qrt 3 and 2021 Qrt 3.

 

Below is what I am trying to achieve ("Sold change" column of the "Power BI Matrix" table). 

 

Somthing to note, is that my fact table contains only YYYY and Qrt# text data as dates of entries.

 

If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.

    Hi matrix_user ,

     

    if you are able to add a date column (in the below code "Day Date" and create a relationship on this instead) in the fact table, this will enable time intelligence functions.

     

    With Fact table[State] in matric values, you can create the following measures: 

    1. Current Sold  = sum ( Fact table[Sold])

    2. Current Remaining = sum( Fact table[Remaining])

    3. SPLY Sold = Calculate( [Current Sold] , Dateadd( Date[Day Date]),-1,Year)
    4. SPLY Remaining = Calculate( [Current Remaining] , Dateadd( Date[Day Date]),-1,Year)

    5. Sold Change = [Current Sold] - [SPLY Sold]

     

    This would solve the issue.

     

    Appreciate a thumbs up if this is helpful.

     

    Kindly accept this as the solution if your question is resolved.
