Hi experts,
Just wondering what is the best way to achieve the following:
In my table I have Date and volume like below, around 4 years of data:
| Date | Volume |
| 26/08/2021 | 63 |
| 19/08/2021 | 101 |
| 12/08/2021 | 112 |
| 5/08/2021 | 104 |
| 29/07/2021 | 95 |
| 22/07/2021 | 93 |
| 15/07/2021 | 63 |
| 8/07/2021 | 48 |
| 1/07/2021 | 50 |
| 24/06/2021 | 66 |
| 17/06/2021 | 36 |
I'd like to create on my chart one data series per year, for example:
| Date | CurrentYear | CurrentYear -1 | CurrentYear-2 |
| 26/08/2021 | 63 | 99 | 108 |
| 19/08/2021 | 101 | 116 | 50 |
| 12/08/2021 | 112 | 106 | 71 |
| 5/08/2021 | 104 | 98 | 45 |
| 29/07/2021 | 95 | 52 | 43 |
In order to have the following chart:
What is the best place to do it in Powerquery or PowerPivot?
