Calculate Average Monthly Growth Rate with Negative Value

Hi All,

 

I have data set of Monthly Revenue for two years. I am trying to calculate the average Growth rate for the year.

 

I achieved the monthly growth rate by 

 

= ( Total Revenue - Previous Month Revenue ) / Total Revenue

 

But, I couldn't find any option to calculate Average Growth Rate for the year.

 

Here I have attached the Dataset for your reference. Your support is more appreciated. F84C3C70-825A-4051-B969-024397EA82CC.jpeg

 

The Value 7.3% is wrong. The actual result is 5.20%

 

Thanks in Advance,

Manikandan

Hi @Adhavan ,

 

If you want the Total of the [MoM Growth] is the averge value, you could create a measure like.

Total is average = IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Year]),[MoM Growth],AVERAGEX('Table',[MoM Growth]))

You see, 3.28% is the average of [MoM Growth].

Hi Stephen,

 

Really thabks for your response. 😉.

 

I have treied the same AverageX function with my dataset. My I got some different result.

The AvergeX Function didn't generate any result and it showing blank value.

 

Since I am new to PBI, struggle to understand your points I beleive. Can you my dataset and correct my mistakes, if possible.

Herewith I have attached my PBI file.

Hi 

 

My suggestion is that you use the Matrix visual:

and maybe you need to adjust your DAX measure for the previous month, i share with you this example: 

 

Previous month Amount = 
CALCULATE(
    Purchases[Purchase Amount],
    PREVIOUSMONTH('Calendar'[Date])
)

 

try and let me know how it work.

Hi Bruno,

 

Thanks for your reposnse.  

 

I have tried your suggestion, but, still get the expected result. Moreever, I am willing to showcase the result as line Chart and CARD.

 

Just for verification purpose, I created as tabl.
