How to Compare Year over Year if there is Data inconsistency?

I have 3 years orders data. 1st year has data starting from 14th week, 2nd year 53 weeks data, 3rd year has only 9 weeks data. In this case how can I calculate YoY. Obviously, if I use YoY quick measure it will show negative value. How do I approach this situation?

 

Download Pbix file from below link. Also, provide few recommendations on how can I impove my report.

Hi @anilpoda ,

 

Try the below, 

Create the below measures and check it works.

total = SUM('table1'[abc])

previous year = CALCULATE(SUM('table1'[abc]), DATEADD('Date'[date],-1,Year)

YOY - DIVIDE(
( [total] - [previous year] ) , [previous year] )

 

Check if it works, replace table names and column names as per your data.

Hi Nikhil,

 

Comparing 14 weeks data against 53 weeks data is not the right way to do when it comes to sales comparison. I need to compare only this year 14 weeks versus previous year 14 weeks. Kindly, read my post fully and propose DAX query for that.
