Difference between two rows

Hi 

Can you please help me to find DAX for change%. "Month" is not a date column (its a text value) and CSAT came from another Measure (Average of Score). I need to calulate percentage difference. As there is no date or index column in dataset, so is it possible to calculate the %difference through Earlier or any other simple function.

  

DistributorMonthCSATChange%
AJan94.67% 
AFeb92.52%-2.26%
AMar92.84%0.34%
BJan96.10% 
BFeb96.21%0.11%
BMar95.45%-0.79%
CJan96.84% 
CFeb94.02%-2.91%
CMar95.22%1.27%

Hi, @Hijbul_Bari 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

In my opinion, if you want to achieve this by writing a measure, there have to be some criteria that tell Jan is earlier than Feb, and Feb is earlier than Mar.

I just assumed this and created a sample by myself.

If the below sample (link down below), does not suit your case, please share your sample file's link, then I can try to look into it and come up with a more accurate measure.

 

The measures that I used are in my sample pbix file.

Thanks a lot. Your concept is right. But I don't have any Date table. The Month Name is a nothing but a "Text" like Jan, Feb etc came from Raw data. Is it possible without date/time intelligent fuction, get the same output using any other function like "Earlier"?

For better understanding if I remove Month and bring product column then output should be the following way. Means it always compare upper two rows and give the Percentage Change.
