Compare and Visualize Value Between Two Dates

Hello,

 

I am looking to recreate the image below in Power BI Desktop.

Untitled.png

There is definitely DAX time intelligence involved here. I believe I will also need to create a Comparison Date table as well.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hi @jytech ,

 

Comparing different time periods – DAX Patterns

Please refer to the link, you can use two slicers to compare two periods.

Hi @jytech,

 

Assuming you have a date table connected to your fact table, you could try the following measures:

 

Users = SUM('fact'[Users])

Prior Year Users = CALCULATE([Users], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('calendar'[date]))

 

 Hope this helps or gets you going in the correct direction.

 



I hope this helps,
Richard

@jytech 

Can you share some non-confidential sample data?

BTW, do you want to compare data which are the same period in different years?
