Calculate % from previous Quarters with ability to use filter

Hi all,

Hope somebody can help me.

I have simple table (viz print screen) contains Quarters, Number, % from previous period.

BUT I want to use Quarter filter and compare for example 2021-Q1 and 2022-Q1, this is problem, because it doesnt work anymore, viz printscreen.

As you can see, it is still calculating previous period and it is not able to be dynamic. 

This is my formula:

 

QoQ (%) =
VAR V = CALCULATE([Views],PREVIOUSQUARTER(DimDates[Date]))
RETURN
    DIVIDE([Views]-V,V)
 
How can I change the above formula to cooperate with filter and be dynamic?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi @lucie_rabochova ,

Please use OFFSET and ALLSELECTED in dax to calculate previous row value, please see below and attched PBI file

_Prev_Quarter =
CALCULATE(
    [_Sales_Amount],
    OFFSET(
        -1,
        ALLSELECTED('Table'[YearQuarter]),
        ORDERBY('Table'[YearQuarter],ASC),
        DEFAULT
    )
)
