Calculating % Change between selected periods

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to calculate the change between selected periods. I want to be able to compare one 4 week period to another.

I want to show the % change between the sum of (9/22, 9/29, 10/06, and 10/13) to the sum of (5/26, 6/02, 6/09, and 6/16).

The % should be somewhere around 13.6%.

Hi @Anonymous

You may try to create a measure like below:

FirstPeriod =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table1[Total Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        Table1,
        Table1[Date]
            IN {
                VALUE ( "9/22/18" ),
                VALUE ( "9/29/18" ),
                VALUE ( "10/06/18" ),
                VALUE ( "10/13/18" )
            }
    )
)

SecondPeriod=CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Date] in { VALUE("5/26/18"), VALUE("6/02/18"),VALUE("6/09/18"), VALUE("6/16/18")}))

% =
DIVIDE ( [SecondPeriod] - [ FirstPeriod], [ FirstPeriod] )

Thanks! I ended up doing something pretty similar to that.  Mine looked like this:

Total Sales Period 1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]), DATESINPERIOD(Table1[Date].[Date],MAX(Table1[Date]),-22,DAY) )

Total Sales Period 2 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]), DATESINPERIOD(Table1[Date].[Date],MIN(Table1[Date]),22,DAY) )

Sales Difference = [Total Sales Period 2] - [Total Sales Period 1]

% Change = DIVIDE([Sales Difference], [Total Sales Period 2])
