Calculating a percentage change of a measure in a matrix

HI Guys, I have 3 measures that I want to be able to display a percentage change by financial year on the below matrix.

 

I have tried the quick measure, percentage change year over year but had no success.


Can anyone provide guidance?

 

FYI my financial year columns come from a date calendar, as do the month rows, and the three values are measures calculating from a booking table and revenue table.

@RevenNic , This is month Vs Month. So you can take diff against last month or last month in last year

In Matrix - Use SHow on ROW

 

examples

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))

 

or for a period or month

 

This Period = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Period),'Period'[Year]=max('Period'[Year]) && Period[Period]=max(Period[Period])))
Last year same Period = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Period),'Period'[Year]=max('Period'[Year])-1 && Period[Period]=max(Period[Period])))

 

 

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

 

 

 

In case you need YTD

 

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
