Hi all,
I suppose this will be pretty basic but I cannot get my way around it on my own. I have a simple file with revenue from various products from 2017 and 2018; now, some customers have purchased the product in one year, some in both, some in none.
I was using just a simple calculation of YoY %:=DIVIDE(CALCULATE([Billed revenue],'Date'[Year]="2018"),CALCULATE([Billed revenue],'Date'[Year]="2017",0))-1). This worked fine but when I have a look at the PowerPivot, it shows me so many -100% it looks awful, it is not really user-friendly and gets confusing as the number of customers is huge. I would prefer it to show blanks in case no purchase was made, but at the same time, I need to substract the 1 from the calculation as it makes no sense to show YoY growth of 103 % when i is actually 3 %. I tried to play with IFERROR but that did not solve my issue as there needs to be the -1, to see the YoY change only.
Would anyone suggest a solution please? I have tried several different forums but have not really found what I was looking for.
Thanks!
