Calculating % Change from Previous Year

[e175429]

Hello all,

This is my current table:

I would like to add a column that shows the % change from previous year for each section.

Currently, I have no measures created.

This is my data:

I would upload the BI file but you have to be a SuperUser to do that.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Regards!

Hey @e175429 
Please use below dax formula

YoY % =
VAR CurrentYear = MAX('Sales'[Year])
VAR PreviousYear = CurrentYear - 1

VAR CurrentYearSales =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Sales'[Sales Amount]),
'Sales'[Year] = CurrentYear
)

VAR PreviousYearSales =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Sales'[Sales Amount]),
'Sales'[Year] = PreviousYear
)

RETURN
IF(
NOT ISBLANK(PreviousYearSales),
DIVIDE(CurrentYearSales - PreviousYearSales, PreviousYearSales, 0),
BLANK()
)

@e175429,

Try these measures:

Total Served = SUM ( 'Table'[Total Served] )

Percent Change from PY =
VAR vCY =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Year] )
VAR vCYAmount = [Total Served]
VAR vPYAmount =
    CALCULATE ( [Total Served], 'Table'[Year] = vCY - 1 )
VAR vResult =
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] ),
        DIVIDE ( vCYAmount - vPYAmount, vPYAmount )
    )
RETURN
    vResult

For future reference, you can copy your data and paste using the Table icon rather than a screenshot.
