Hello Dears
My question can be very simple but very common and I'm sure someone had same problem.
I have a table with following fields
1-country
2-year (text field) 4 positions Ex: 2016
3-sales
I need to get the value of sales from 2015 and compare with 2014 (preview year) in a new column.
Example, for USA 2015 the year value is 25851 but I need compare it with 2014... 20394....
In the final, I need to express the difference in percentage in 2015... Diff = (25851-20394) / 20394 = 27% of increase.
Please, some guru to help me. Thanks
Hey @mattosed
It is very common to YoY growth %, YoY comparison etc. I'm sure there are tons of posts on this. One thing you need to do this kind of comparison, a continuous date table and it will drive rest of the calculations
