Calculating Percentage Difference between Current and Previous Row only while the ID is the same
- 7 years ago
Dominok123 Add a new column i.e. Index Field in "Power Query Editor"
Then add a new column in DAX as below
% Difference = VAR _CurrVal = Test228RowDiff[Value] VAR _PrevID = LOOKUPVALUE(Test228RowDiff[ID],Test228RowDiff[Index],Test228RowDiff[Index]-1) VAR _PrevVal = LOOKUPVALUE(Test228RowDiff[Value],Test228RowDiff[Index],Test228RowDiff[Index]-1,Test228RowDiff[ID],Test228RowDiff[ID]) RETURN IF(Test228RowDiff[ID] = _PrevID,FORMAT((_CurrVal-_PrevVal)/_CurrVal,"Percent"),FORMAT(0,"Percent"))

Hi, I was just playing about with the problem when the solution was posted. It's a good solution but i need to point out that the percentage calculation is wrong and there's a rogue non-existent table in the formula.
I also added the index column - because DAX engine has to know how to find the previous row.
For comparison, another DAX formula to get the previous value is
previous value = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table2[Value], 1),
FILTER(Table2, Table2[ID] = EARLIER(Table2[ID]) && Table2[Index] = EARLIER(Table2[Index]) - 1))and the percentage calculation has to have the previous value as the denominator.

ThanksHotChilli yes the index is pointing to wrong table, because of Lazy Intellisense option. Updated the table name now.
