Calculating Variance based on the year selection in slicer

BUSH781 — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 15:22:59 GMT

I have to create a dashboard calculating variance between three different values which are Amount, Fee and count. DB needs to have a slicer enabling user to select current year and any prvious year e.g, 2024 verses 2023 and so on. Dasboard should show the variance percentage based on user selection. Can anyone please help. TIA

Amount	year
150BN	2024
50BN	2023
30BN	2022

Slicer will be based on year column and it can be selected in any combination with current year if 2024 and 2023 is selected the output should be 100bn and if 2024 and 2022 is selected then output should be 20bn.

lbendlin Thanks for your contribution on this thread.

Hi BUSH781 ,

You can create a measure as below to get it, please find the details in the attachment.

Variance = VAR _curyear = YEAR ( TODAY () ) VAR _selyear = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[year] ) VAR _cyamount = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[year] = _curyear ) ) VAR _syamount = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[year] = _selyear ) ) RETURN _cyamount - _syamount

Best Regards
