Automatic Cumulated Delta

Hello,

 

i created the following table (please do not consider the chronology).

 

I calculated the column "%"  with the follwing measure:

 

% = IF(ISBLANK(Tabelle1[2019 J]);BLANK();DIVIDE(Tabelle1[2019 J]-Tabelle1[2018 J];Tabelle1[2018 J]))
 
I have two questions:
 
1. Now i want a second colum hat calculate the cumulated the delta. If August of the new year is blank then calculate the sum from 2019 September - Dezember and compare it with the sum from 2018 September - Dezember. If only April is blank then compare the sum from September - August etc. Do you understand the logic?
 

2. It is possible to avoid the calculation for the entire figures? It only make sense when both years are full.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Wedding55 ,

    For the scenario, I created a measure to implement. You can download my sample and have a try.

    • create an index column based on the column of month in Power Query
    • create a measure 
    2019-2018 cumulated values = 
var a = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Index]),FILTER('Table','Table'[2019] = BLANK()))
var new = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[2019]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index] <= MAX('Table'[Index]) && 'Table'[Index] > a  ))
var last =  CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[2018]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index] <= MAX('Table'[Index]) && MAX('Table'[2019]) <> BLANK()))
return
new - last

    Is this what you want? If not, please share more details and post a dummy file. Then we can help you as soon as possible.

        Hi Xue Ding,

         

        sorry for the delay. It works good in your file. In my file i have one column with the turnover from the last 3 finacial years. I sort them in different columns with the measure:

         

        = CALCULATE(Sum('Übersicht'[Umsatz]);DATESBETWEEN('Übersicht'[Datum];"01.07.2017";"30.06.2018"))

         

        So i have a column for each fiscal year. I can´t work with them in your meausre. I think beacuse its already calculated or what do you think?

         

        Thanks in advance

         

        Best Regards
