Categorizing the difference for a value between two dates
I have a dataset with an ID that occurs over time showing a percent complete changing. I was able to create a measure to get me the difference between two values based on dates selected on a slicer (a first and second date). However I'm looking to create groupings like "Increase", "Decrease", "No Change" for the difference between the two. Is there a way to do this with measures or to create columns like these measures?

nscala241 In general, to use a measure in that way, you need to use the Disconnected Table Trick as this article demonstrates: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Solving-Attendance-with-the-Disconnected-Table-Trick/ba-p/279563
This was really helpful to be able to create a measure to indicate the direction of change. I'm looking to be able to use the direction of change as a category so this still doesn't let me do exactly what I'm wanting. Thanks though.
