Can we create a line and clustered column chart for comparing current month with previous month?

[pbilearning]

Hey everyone!

I am trying to create a line and clustered column chart where  I want to display monthly gross quantity in clustered column and change in % of current month vs previous month (current month/previous month) as line chart in the same visualization. Can we do that?

Data is as below: (dates are from July 2018 to March,2020)

dates            grossquantity

July,1,2018    200

Aug,1,2018    400

Sep,1,2018     700

Oct,1,2018      920

Hi @pbilearning ,

The answers that pbilearning and mwegener are working perfectly. I just add a few blogs where you could learn more.

For the visuals, maybe you could reference these:

If these can't help you, please share your expected results. We will understand clearly. Please feel free to ask the questions.

Hi @pbilearning ,

you can try this measure:

% Gross Quantity Prev Month = CALCULATE(

VAR QuantityPrevMonth = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[GrossQuantity]),PARALLELPERIOD('Table'[Date],-1,MONTH))

RETURN

DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[GrossQuantity])-QuantityPrevMonth,QuantityPrevMonth,0))

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Marco
