Calculate dynamic percentage change quarter on quarter and year on year

Hello,

 

I am new to Power Bi. I am trying to calculate the percentage change in the number of customers quarter on quarter as well as year on year  based filter applied on two columns- Energy and Supplier. I tried below code but I guess I am going wrong with the Date logic. 

 

change perc = VAR ValueLastYear =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( ElectricityGasCustomerNum[CustomerNumber] ),
FILTER (
ElectricityGasCustomerNum,
ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Date]
= ( EARLIER ( ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Date] ) - 1 )
&& ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Energy] = EARLIER ( ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Energy] )
&& ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Supplier] = EARLIER ( ElectricityGasCustomerNum[Supplier] )
)
)
RETURN
IF (
ISBLANK ( ValueLastYear ),
0,
( ElectricityGasCustomerNum[CustomerNumber] - ValueLastYear )
/ ValueLastYear
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

The key point is to have a date calendar, so you can use the data intel functions.

Hi @camargos88 ,

 

Thank you for your solution. It worked. I am building a dashboard for this type of data. It would be great if you could suggest what all insights I can show may be as a summary using the charts of power bi.
