Calculate Year over Year comparison dynamically based on the [year] slicer

Hello All,

 

I have a question regarding dynamically calculate the year over year comparison.

 

Suppose I have a table that look like this:

 

Sales:    
 2019202020212022
NY400K385K800K750K
NJ200K300K250K400K
CT150K400K280K300K

 

and there is a slice where I can select what is the current year.

 

if I would like to construct a table that dynamically displays my current year selection and automatically populates the sales for the previsouly year and the sales increase (decrease), for example:

 

[Year] selected 2021

 

 Current YearPrevious YearIncrease (Decrease)
NY800K385K415K
NJ250K300K(50K)
CT280K400K(120K)

 

How can I achieve this? 

 

Thank you all for your help!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There's a lot of ways to do this, here's one way:

 

1) To use time intelligence measures in DAX you need a date table.  I created a basic one and marked as the date table using this code:

 

TableDT =
VAR MinYear = YEAR ( MIN ( Table1[Date] ) )
VAR MaxYear = YEAR ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ) )
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS (
FILTER (
CALENDARAUTO( ),
AND ( YEAR ( [Date] ) >= MinYear, YEAR ( [Date] ) <= MaxYear )
),
"Month Name", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] )
)
 
2)  Next I created three measures:
 
2a) 
Current Year = SUM(Table1[Value])
 
2b) 
Last Year = CALCULATE(
[Current Year],
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Table1[Date])
)
 
2c)
 
Chg Year = [Current Year] - [Last Year]
 
That gives me these results:

hi @tom480 ,

 

Thank you so much for the response. I am fairly new to PBI community and did not understand everything you did to make the magic happen, but I enjoy learning pbi and am looking forward to learning pbi from you in the future.

 

Thank again.
