Create a Calculated Column in a matrix
- 9 years ago
I am not really sure if there is an easier way. I have two date tables which I use as slicers allowing me to select two periods to compare and then I have a master date table where I create my calculations, e.g. sales for period 1 and sales for period 2
Hope this makes sense and apologies if I have misunderstood what you are trying to do.
Edit: I have attached a screenshot of how my matrix looks if that helps.

Hi Shona
Thanks for that :smileyhappy:
I have managed to do it by creating a seperate date table then by creating a previous year measure and % change measure. When I now select my required month by way of a filter it will show this month for the current year and the previous year coloum will filter to show the sales for that period last year and the % variance between these two months.
Thanks for your help...

Hi shona and thomaskelly
I'm also trying to achieve the same to compare FY 16 and FY 17 sales and quantity.
I'm struggling with creating columns to calculate the differences between 2 periods. Appreciated if you could explain how to achieved this. Thanks!
