Compare Two Years

Hi, everyone!

 

I have timeline column with date for two years and column with values.
I need to visualize stacked area chart which will show comparison of values by years. I have set up my visualization as shown on image below:

But I need data to be shown on one timeline one year under another as shown below: 

3.JPG

 

But I need to save Axis as on the first image to show detailed data with hours.

How can I visualize my data as I described?

 

I will be very grateful for your help!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Would you like to set another year's values as a measure like below?

Please create a calendar table and manage the measure, reference:

Did not get it completely. But you can create a one year lag measure and plot the the current and this measure togther.

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s.
