    Hi,

    Please follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Click on Enter data under Modeling tab and enter the following data:

     

     

     

    Step 2:

    Create the following measure:

    Growth =
    VAR period1 =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Period Value]),
    FILTER(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Period] = "Period 1"
    )
    )

    VAR period2 =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Period Value]),
    FILTER(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Period] = "Period 2"
    )
    )

    VAR division =
    CALCULATE(
    DIVIDE(
    period2 - period1,
    period2,
    0
    )
    )

    RETURN
    IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Period 1",
    SUMX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = "Period 1"), 'Table'[Period Value]),
    IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Period 2",
    SUMX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = "Period 2"), 'Table'[Period Value]),
    IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Growth",
    FORMAT(division, "Percent")
    )
    )
    )
     
    Step 3:
    In matrix visual, drag Category column from Category table under Columns.
     
     
    You can sort the Category column by creating index column and sort Category column based on index column.

Hi Vinay,

 

If you have 36 periods, what way will you explore to show dynamic MTD and YTD vs pcp as last two colums?

 

Thank you!
