    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.

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()
)
