Divide....

[LCarenzo]

I am stuck.  I have the following columns:

Month

Value

Category

I am trying to take last months value and subtract it from this months value - I want to be able to sort it by the category.  Basically I am looking for the month over month difference, but the issue is my month is in the same column.

How can I set this up to properly show the difference?

Thanks in advance.

VAR currentMonth = [Month]
VAR currentvalue = [Value]
VAR perviousmonthvalue = CALCULATE(
                                                            MAX([Value]), FILTER(ALL('TableName'),
                                                                                               [Category] = EARLIER([Category], 
                                                                                                [Month] <currentMonth
                                                                                               )
                                                                              currentvalue - perviousmonthvalue          
                                                        )

Hi @LCarenzo search part Month-over-month in the link https://www.daxpatterns.com/standard-time-related-calculations/
