Compare selected mont_ year with previous month_year

Hi, I have a requirement here:

I have data like below:

Table1.JPG

 

I need the output in Power BI as:

There will be a slicer to select year. When I select Year as 18 in the slicer, it should list data only for Year 2018 where the Profit for year 2018 is compared with Profit of 2017 and added into a column. It should be seen like below:

Any Ideas?

May be this Column

 

Column =
VAR Previous_Year =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Profit] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Product] ),
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Table1[Date] )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( Previous_Year ) ), Table1[Profit] - Previous_Year )

Try this measurE

 

Measure  =
VAR Previous_Year =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Profit] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Product] ),
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Table1[Date] )
    )
RETURN
    SUM ( Table1[Profit] ) - Previous_Year

Hi Zubair,

Your code works great for a Measure. Thanks for it. I actually need to create a new Column with these values, so that I can use the column for further calculations. Can you think of DAX to create new column for same requirement ???

    )
RETURN
    IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( Previous_Year ) ), Table1[Profit] - Previous_Year )

It's working, Thank you so much @Zubair_Muhammad !!!
