Assistance with Calculation

Hi All,

 

As you can see from the pic that the size increases every month. How do I display the difference in size as well ?

 

For example : For the month of Feb , instead of 16.74 it should show 14.78+1.96.

 

Kindly help.

SumHeadcount = VAR CurrentMonth LASTDATE('YourTable'[Date])
VAR LastMonthNum = if(Month(CurrentMonth) = 1, 12, MONTH(CurrentMonth) - 1)
VAR LastMonth = if(Month(CurrentMonth) = 1, DATE(YEAR(CurrentMonth]) - 1, LastMonthNum, 1), DATE(YEAR(Date]), LastMonthNum, 1))
RETURN
SUM('YourTable'[ValueField]) - CALCULATE(
	SUM('YourTable'[ValueField]),
	ALL('YourTable')
	'YourTable'[Date] = LastMonth
)

This might do it, just put it on something with Month Context.  This assumes your 'date' fields are done in a way that each date aligns to a single date within a month, like the first.

I wrote something like this for another post.  Not the only way to do this, but it was the first way that came to mind:

 

SumHeadcount = VAR CurrentMonth LASTDATE('YourTable'[Date])
VAR LastMonthNum = if(Month(CurrentMonth) = 1, 12, MONTH(CurrentMonth) - 1)
VAR LastMonth = if(Month(CurrentMonth) = 1, DATE(YEAR(CurrentMonth]) - 1, LastMonthNum, 1), DATE(YEAR(Date]), LastMonthNum, 1))
RETURN

CALCULATE(
	SUM('YourTable'[ValueField]),
	ALL('YourTable')
	'YourTable'[Date] >= LastMonth,
	'YourTable'[Date] <= CurrentMonth
)

 EDIT:  The code above doesnt do exactly your thing, but it might give you something to work from
