Measure current year (context) minus last year KPI

Hello,

 

I have a years dimension table and I want to calculate a KPI wich is the difference between the value of an another KPI value in a year minus its value the year before:

KPI2 = KPI1(YearN) - KPI(YearN-1)

 

Any help how to do it?

 

Thank you

Hello @Wattar ,

 

You may use Time Intelligence DAX for this: PARALLELPERIOD or DATEADD

 

KPI 2 = 
VAR KPI1 = [measure]

VAR KPI1PrevYear = 
  CALCULATE([measure], PARALLELPERIOD([date],-1,"Year"))

VAR Diff = KPI1 - KPI1PrevYear

RETURN

Diff

 

Cheers!
Vivek
