Calendar, multiple dates but dates depend on each other

[BartDekeyser]

Goodmorning,

I am fairly new to Powerbi but loving it for the moment. 

I have the following problem : 

My data  :

Year PubYear Category Value.

2009  2015      x             100

2009   2019     x              105

2009  2019      y              200

2009  2021      x              110

2010  2015       x             120

2010  2021      x              125

2010 2021      y                200

and so on for over 1.4 million records.

The Client wants 2 visuals : 

First year by year growth for the last pubyear per year

Second Year by Year growth voor 1 year over different pubyears

How can achieve this using a Calendartable or dont i have to use this table ?

Hi @BartDekeyser ,

I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

Year by year% = 
VAR _selcat =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Category] )
VAR _selyear =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] )
VAR _selpubyear =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[PubYear] )
VAR _prepubyear =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[PubYear] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Category] = _selcat
                && 'Table'[Year] = _selyear
                && 'Table'[PubYear] < _selpubyear
        )
    )
VAR _prepyvalue =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Category] = _selcat
                && 'Table'[Year] = _selyear
                && 'Table'[PubYear] = _prepubyear
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( _prepyvalue ),
        BLANK (),
        DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ) - _prepyvalue, _prepyvalue )
    )

In addition, you can refer the following videos to get it.

If the above one can't help you, could you please explain your expected result base on your shared sample data?Thank you.

Best Regards

i tried you solution, but it is not what i wanted. I want to see the evolution through the years using their maximum publication year per categorie. So 

For X 2009's max pubyear = 2021 for Y 2009's max pubyear = 2019, for 2010 for x and y it is 2021.

And on another visual i would want to see the evolution of 2009 through different pubyears. 

So for X on 2009 i want to see 2015 vs 2019 vs 2021
