Calculating difference between two dates

[IvanRivera4]

Hi,

Im new in power BI and im doing a report in my jof for investments.

I need to show how the businees increase or decrease in different dates

So, I have something like this.

Investment------date-------difference 

1000-------------1/1/2000---

300--------------1/1/2001---(-70%)

500--------------1/2/2001---(+67%)

It is something like this. I need to graph how much we have grown this month in comparisson to the last month and how much we hae grown this month in comparisson to the last year on the same month and day as you can see.

Can I use new measure?

Hi @IvanRivera4,

According to your description above, you should be able to use the formulas below to create two measures in your scenario. 

Growth to Last Month =
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] )
        - CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] ), PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Table1'[date] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] ), PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Table1'[date] ) )
)

Growth to Last Year =
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] )
        - CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] ),
            SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Table1'[date] )
        ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table1'[Investment] ),
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Table1'[date] )
    )
)

Note: you will need to replace 'Table1' with your real table name.
