Calculate % difference between each year of a row

Hi,

 

I am trying to find the % difference e.g. change in consumption between 2021 and 2020 then 2022 and 2021:

This is not a calculated column so can be edited in Power Query editor

Thanks!

Hi, @kadekwijaya 

 

You can try the following methods.
Measure:

Change% = 
Var _Previousyear=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Consumption]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Year]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Year])-1))
Var _Currentyear=SUM('Table'[Consumption])
Return
IF(_Previousyear=BLANK(),BLANK(),DIVIDE(_Currentyear-_Previousyear,_Currentyear))

Column = 
Var _Previousyear=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Consumption]),FILTER('Table',[Year]=EARLIER('Table'[Year])-1))
Var _Currentyear=[Consumption]
Return
IF(_Previousyear=BLANK(),BLANK(),DIVIDE(_Currentyear-_Previousyear,_Currentyear))

Is this the result you expect?

hi @kadekwijaya 

you want a solution in PQ?

 

With DAX, try plot a visual with Year column and a measure like:

Measure =
VAR _year = MAX (TableName[year])
VAR _ConsLY = 
SUMX(
     FILTER(
        ALL(TableName),
        TableName[Year] = _year -1
    ),
   TableName[consumption]
)
VAR _Cons = 
SUM(TableName[consumption]) 
RETURN
DIVIDE(_Cons - _ConsLY, _ConsLY)

Thanks for the suggestion!

 

I would ideally like a table showing the change in consumption as a % between each year?

E.g. 2020 will be blank but 2021 and 2022 will have % values?
