Difference with previous data available

Hi,

I have to calculate the difference with previuous data avaiable, but I dont' have a fix delta time:

amvaldelta
30/11/2022500067%
31/12/2021300050%
31/12/2020200067%
31/06/20201200 

 

With a defined period (11 moth) no problem

DELTA = (SUM(table[val])-CALCULATE(SUM(table[val]),PARALLELPERIOD(table[am],-11,MONTH)))/CALCULATE(SUM(table[val]),PARALLELPERIOD(table[am],-11,MONTH))

 

But if the period is not fixed which is the solution?

For fun only, a showcase of powerful Excel worksheet formula,

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Sorry I simplified the real aggregation, my data are grouped in this way:

 

amliv1flagvaldelta 
30/11/2022group1a100043% 
  b1500114% 
 group2a100011% 
  b200067% 
31/12/2021group1a70017% 
  b70040% 
 group2a90013% 
  b120020% 
30/11/2021group1a600  
  b500  
 group2a800  
  b1000  

 

In this situation, how can I modify your code?

Thanks
