Creating Percent change Measure from a Measure

 I have this table, and $/LBS is a measure that I created simply by dividing $ and LBS column. 

I want to see the following two columns in the table view next to the $/LBS column

Pecent Change (Previous Month) was calculated by =(Month-Prev Month) / Prev Month

Pecent Change (Compared to Jan) was calculated by= (Month - $Jan) / $Jan

 

If anyone could show me how to do this in PowerBi, I would appreciate it!

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Please try the following methods.

    Sample Data:

    $/LBS = DIVIDE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[$]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[LBS]))
    Prev Month = 
VAR PrevDate=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'[Date]),[Date]<SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])),[Date])
Var PrevMonth=CALCULATE([$/LBS],FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date]=PrevDate))
Return
PrevMonth
    Pecent Change (Previous Month) = DIVIDE([$/LBS]-[Prev Month],[Prev Month])
    Pecent Change (Compared to Jan) = 
Var Jan=CALCULATE([$/LBS],FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH([Date])=1))
return
DIVIDE([$/LBS]-Jan,Jan)

    Is this the result you expect?

    Anonymous ,  You can use time intelligence to get it , if you have date table

     

    MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
    last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
    last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

     

     

     

    Or have month year table with month rank

    Month Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Month Start date],,ASC,Dense)

     

    This Month = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Month Rank]=max('Date'[Month Rank])))
    Last Month = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Month Rank]=max('Date'[Month Rank])-1))

     

    Time Intelligence, DATESMTD, DATESQTD, DATESYTD, Week On Week, Week Till Date, Custom Period on Period,

      "Sum" also works for a column in a data table. $/LBS is a measure that you see in a table visualization. So I can't use the Sum function to do this, unfortunatley.
