Year over year % Change

[jasmeet_ia]

Hi there, I am new to powerbi and struggling with this. From the table I have added 'Country' as Rows and 'Year' as column.  I am trying to add a column next to 2023, showing % change in 2023 and 2022. I request help with this, as I am not able to figure this out on my own. Please!

Hi @jasmeet_ia 

@Greg_Deckler Good share!

For your question, here is the method I provided:

Here's some dummy data

"Data"

You can create a measure to calculate the year over year change in price.

Measure = 
    var current_year = SELECTEDVALUE('Data'[2023])
    var last_year = SELECTEDVALUE('Data'[2022])
RETURN DIVIDE(current_year - last_year, last_year)

Change the format of measure to “%”

Here is the result

Hi @Anonymous - Thanks for your suggestion. But I am still not able to achilve what I looking for. Let me rephrase my question, maybe I was not very clear previously.. I really appreciate your help!

This is how my raw data looks like, with more rows:

Month	READER LOCATION	Reads
Jan-20	Canada	1,293,579
Jan-20	United States	1,253,969
Jan-20	India	353,493
Feb-20	France	349,513
Mar-20	United Kingdom	289,964
Jan-21	Australia	181,488
Jan-22	Brazil	130,479
Jan-23	South Africa	77,071

and this is what I want to achieve in one of my dashboards:

@jasmeet_ia You can create a PY measure like this:

NC Intenet Sales (PY) = 
    VAR __MinPYDate = MIN('Dates'[Prior Year Date])
    VAR __MaxPYDate = MAX('Dates'[Prior Year Date])
    VAR __PYCalendar = CALENDAR(__MinPYDate, __MaxPYDate)
    VAR __Table = 
        SUMMARIZE(
            ALL('FactInternetSales'),
            'FactInternetSales'[OrderDate],
            "__Sales", SUM('FactInternetSales'[SalesAmount]))
    VAR __Result = SUMX( FILTER( __Table, [OrderDate] IN __PYCalendar), [__Sales] )
RETURN
    __Result
