Comparing last year percentage to current and create a KPI

[Anonymous]

What I need to accomplish is comparing a current percentage point to last year's and then create an up or down KPI based on the difference between the two.  What I need help with is wrapping my head around the formula for last year's percent.  Here is what I have, which is not working and I will disect it some:

Last Year NOT = CALCULATE([SDNDR]/qryGetMEWO[Work Order Count] >=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1,3,31) && qryGetMEWO[ShortDate]<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())))

I want to get the percent dividing the count from SDNDR - which is already a measure that is working - by the Total Work Order Count, but filtering only on the date filter.  So if I am looking at the past 30 days, I want to look at the same 30 days from last year; if I am looking at yesterday, I want to compare last year yesterday.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

SDNDR is alreay a measure

Create following measures

1.  TotalWorkOrder = Sum( workorder)  - to calculate total work order

 2.  Percentage = Divide( SDNDR,TotalWorkOrder)     - calculate %  ( this will show % for the current selected date )

3. Percentage(same period last year ) = Calculate (percentage,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTable[Date]))  -  this will calcuate % for the same selected date but for the last year.

DateTable is a different table containing date file but you can use the date from the same table.

Hope this helps

good luck 🙂

Cheers!
