Hi,
I am trying to create a measure formula that calculates the % change year over year that also takes into account changes from negative to positive numbers. I have the formula written out in excel below, but when I try to get the same formula written in PBI I get an error saying too few arguments passed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Excel Formula
=IF(LY %=0,0,(IF(LY %<0,(( LY % - TY %)/ LY %)*100,(( LY % - TY %)/ LY %)*-100)))
PBI Measure
Solved! Go to Solution.
You have an extra IF towards the end. Should be
% Change Calculated = IF ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] = 0, 0, IF ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] > 0, ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] / [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] ) * -1, ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] ##You had an extra IF here - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] / [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] ) ) )
Thanks for the quick reply Dedelman_clng! I added in some divides into the formula with your change and it worked perfectly.
% Change Calculated = IF ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] = 0, 0, IF ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] > 0, **DIVIDE** ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] , [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] ) * -1, **DIVIDE**( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] , [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] ) ) )
