Conditional with icons

Good morning community: I have the following problem:

Make a matrix table and you would need to add conditional icons to it. The problem is that each icon must indicate whether the amount in percentage of the measure is greater or less than the previous one. It is a Matrix that shows a percentage measure for each week, and the idea is that if the following week the percentage increases, it shows an arrow icon upwards, otherwise downwards, and so on. Illustrative image attached.

Can it be achieved? Thanks!

Hi, @Labraham36 

You can try formula like the following:

calculated column:

Rank_semana = RANKX('Table','Table'[semana],,DESC,Dense)

measure columns:

following week =
CALCULATE (
    [Uso_cel],
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Rank_semana]
            = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Rank_semana] ) - 1
            && 'Table'[prov_nombre] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[prov_nombre] )
    )
)
indicate =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( [following week] ),
    BLANK (),
    IF ( [Uso_cel] < [following week], UNICHAR ( 9650 ), UNICHAR ( 9660 ) )
)

@Labraham36 , You need to create a YOY measure and that you can use in icon formatting under conditional formatting

 

measures like

 

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))

 

This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))

 

//Only year vs Year, not a level below

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

 

diff = [This Year]-[Last Year ]
diff % = divide([This Year]-[Last Year ],[Last Year ]) //YOY

 

Last one can be done without date table
