Dynamic Pre/Post Calculation
I'm trying to dynamically calculate for pre/post sales based on an index slicer selection. My dataset looks as follows:
| Index | Timing | TY Sales | LY Sales |
| -4 | Pre | 473891 | 263538 |
| -3 | Pre | 543166 | 385628 |
| -2 | Pre | 764374 | 329274 |
| -1 | Pre | 876485 | 183658 |
| 0 | Post | 563836 | 954786 |
| 1 | Post | 292737 | 283464 |
| 2 | Post | 484640 | 234874 |
The formula would be (Post TY Sales - Pre TY Sales) / Pre TY Sales
The result would change based on your slicer selection ex: -3 to 2 or -1 to 1, etc. Thanks in advance!
Hi mikayla ,
You could create a measure by the following formula：value = VAR _presum = SUMX ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Timing] = "Pre" ), [TY Sales] ) RETURN DIVIDE ( SUMX ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Timing] = "Post" ), [TY Sales] ) - _presum, _presum )The final output is shown below: When the choice of slicer is different(Use Ctrl to select multiple options), the value is also different

I've already created the slicer with the index range but I am struggling with writing the measure/calculated column as I am fairly new to DAX. Any help is so appreciated! Let me know if I am still not being clear.
