Year over year % Change

jasmeet_ia — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 17:52:11 GMT

Hi there, I am new to powerbi and struggling with this. From the table I have added 'Country' as Rows and 'Year' as column. I am trying to add a column next to 2023, showing % change in 2023 and 2022. I request help with this, as I am not able to figure this out on my own. Please!

jasmeet_ia You can create a PY measure like this:

NC Intenet Sales (PY) = VAR __MinPYDate = MIN('Dates'[Prior Year Date]) VAR __MaxPYDate = MAX('Dates'[Prior Year Date]) VAR __PYCalendar = CALENDAR(__MinPYDate, __MaxPYDate) VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE( ALL('FactInternetSales'), 'FactInternetSales'[OrderDate], "__Sales", SUM('FactInternetSales'[SalesAmount])) VAR __Result = SUMX( FILTER( __Table, [OrderDate] IN __PYCalendar), [__Sales] ) RETURN __Result

Hi jasmeet_ia

Greg_Deckler Good share!

For your question, here is the method I provided:

Here's some dummy data

"Data"

You can create a measure to calculate the year over year change in price.

Measure = var current_year = SELECTEDVALUE('Data'[2023]) var last_year = SELECTEDVALUE('Data'[2022]) RETURN DIVIDE(current_year - last_year, last_year)

Change the format of measure to “%”

Here is the result
