Percentage growth previous year

[pro_x]

Hi,

I have this excel formula that i need to convert to power bi =year2/year1 - 1

I would like to calculate the growth rate using year 2 Month 4 divided by the previous year's, previous month (year 1 month 3)

How would i write this in power bi?

Hi @pro_x ,

Hi @pro_x ,

Assuming you have a Dates Table.

Create Measures

Sales Amount = SUMX ( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )

Sales Amount LY = CALCULATE(Sales[Sales Amount], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

Growth = DIVIDE(Sales[Sales Amount],Sales[Sales Amount LY])

@pro_x , For Change % prefer divide(curr -prior,prior)

For Year and YTD refer

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

=
DIVIDE (
    [Measure],
    CALCULATE ( [Measure], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Dates[Date] ) )
)
