Add calculated column by finding Difference between selected row and previous month data

I need to find the difference of clicks to each query in a perticlar date
In example : I wan to find difference betwen clicks for savings account ranking for URL 1 in May and Apr. I want the value in CLicks difference column against the Query 1.

Should i use Unique IDs ?

I ahve created a Unique Query ID and i have tried using the following formula it gave error

ClicksDifference =

VAR CurrentQueryID = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[UniqueID]

VAR UnderscorePosition = FIND("_", CurrentQueryID, 1, LEN(CurrentQueryID)) // Find the first underscore position

// Extract current month substring after the last underscore

VAR CurrentMonth =

MID(

CurrentQueryID,

UnderscorePosition + 1, // Start from the character after the underscore

LEN(CurrentQueryID) - UnderscorePosition // Length of the substring

)

// Assuming you have a mapping table for months like in the previous example

VAR MonthMapping =

DATATABLE (

"MonthName", STRING,

"MonthNumber", INTEGER,

{

{"January", 1}, {"February", 2}, {"March", 3}, {"April", 4},

{"May", 5}, {"June", 6}, {"July", 7}, {"August", 8},

{"September", 9}, {"October", 10}, {"November", 11}, {"December", 12}

}

)

// Lookup current month number

VAR CurrentMonthNumber = LOOKUPVALUE(MonthMapping[MonthNumber], MonthMapping[MonthName], CurrentMonth)

// Calculate previous month number

VAR PreviousMonthNumber = IF(CurrentMonthNumber = 1, 12, CurrentMonthNumber - 1)

// Lookup previous month name

VAR PreviousMonthName = LOOKUPVALUE(MonthMapping[MonthName], MonthMapping[MonthNumber], PreviousMonthNumber)

// Replace current month with previous month in QueryID

VAR PreviousQueryID = SUBSTITUTE(CurrentQueryID, "_" & CurrentMonth, "_" & PreviousMonthName)

// Calculate previous month clicks

VAR PreviousClicks =

CALCULATE(

SUM('DS Page And Query Wise'[Url Clicks]),

FILTER(

'DS Page And Query Wise',

'DS Page And Query Wise'[UniqueID] = PreviousQueryID

)

// Calculate current month clicks

VAR CurrentClicks = SUM('DS Page And Query Wise'[Url Clicks])

// Calculate clicks difference

RETURN

IF(

ISBLANK(PreviousClicks),

BLANK(),

CurrentClicks - PreviousClicks

)

Second Query I used

Clicks Difference =

VAR SelectedClicks = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[Url Clicks]

VAR SelectedLOB = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[LOB ]

VAR SelectedQuery = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[Query]

VAR SelectedLandingPage = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[Landing Page]

VAR SelectedDate = 'DS Page And Query Wise'[Date (Year Month)]

VAR PriorMonth = EOMONTH(SelectedDate, -1)

VAR PreviousMonthClicks =

CALCULATE(

SUM('DS Page And Query Wise'[Url Clicks]),

FILTER(

'DS Page And Query Wise',

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Date (Year Month)] = PriorMonth &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[LOB ] = SelectedLOB &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Query] = SelectedQuery &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Landing Page] = SelectedLandingPage

)

RETURN

IF( 'DS Page And Query Wise'[LOB ] = SelectedLOB &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Query] = SelectedQuery &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Landing Page] = SelectedLandingPage &&

'DS Page And Query Wise'[Date (Year Month)] = PriorMonth,

SelectedClicks - PreviousMonthClicks,

BLANK()

)
