Calculation Groups - Difference measures

[lherbert501]

Hi,

Could somebody please help me whether this is possible?

I need the layout like below to be in a matrix. I've used a calculation group for current and previous period and this works well because they are using the same fields.

My problem is that Growth has some different calculations to the other two, and as this all needs to be on the same matrix I'm struggling to put it together. 

Could somebody please advise if this is possibele?

Thanks in advance

@lherbert501 

sorry but the image is somewhat confusing .( for me maybe ) . 

you want to have 2 levels in the columns : 
level1 : 

growth current period vs previous perd ,

previous period

current period 

level2 : 

growth %, growth $ 

sales , profit 

sales , profit 

?

Hi @Daniel29195 ,

Currently its coming out below which is correct, but how would I add two more columns onto the growth but not onto the other two (Current Period & Previous Period).

Growth needs to have 4 columns on the matrix and current period and previous need to have two.

@lherbert501 

maybe you can do the following : 
create a table with the following structure : 

level 1                                         level2 

growth                                      total sales 

growth                                       total margin

growth                                       calculation 3

growth                                       calculation 4

previous period                            total sales 

previous period                            total margin

current period                                total sales 

current period                              total margin

then in your calculation you can use one measure with switch statement

Hi @Daniel29195 ,

Apologies I'm a little confused. When you say table with levels, do this mean with calculation groups?

Thanks again

@lherbert501 

table using enter data  manually .

this way you are creating the structure of your table how you want it to be . 

and then you play with the measure and switch to change the calculation behavior base on the column you are in . 

[lherbert501]

The best I've managed is to get both measures to display as blank in a matrix by using this in tabular editor

IF( SELECTEDMEASURENAME() in {"Cost1", "Cost2"}, BLANK(), SELECTEDMEASURE() - CALCULATE(SELECTEDMEASURE(), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DimDate[DateFull])) )

 Thanks @Daniel29195 . And this would still come out grouped like below?

[Daniel29195]

@lherbert501 

yes sure.

if you can, share some sample data, and i will do it for you .

Hi @Daniel29195 

Thank you so much.  

I hope that's okay what I've attached. I've used shapes to show what I require on the page

Thanks @Daniel29195  for your time with this. This works. 

With this setup, is it possible to had another column outside of the top heading like below, or even if the top level was blank.

@lherbert501 

isnt this what you mean ? 
( the ones in blue circles )

Hi @Daniel29195 

I'm not sure if it replied to the right reply, but If I put it like in the example below. It would need to be in values to display as a solid column in the matrix but for example a customer having a start date that would need to show for each customer going down, but it wouldnt necessarily be in any of the 3 levels.
