Creating variance vs. prior period without Date Table?
Hi , Anonymous
Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data :
(2)We can click "New Column" to create a calculated column to sort in the visual :
Sort_Falg = var _curent_q= CONVERT( RIGHT('Table'[Prior QTR],4) & MID('Table'[Prior QTR],2,1) ,INTEGER) return _curent_q(3)We can create a measure :
Prior QTR Value = var _prior_qtr =SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Prior QTR]) var _t= FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[Current QTR] = _prior_qtr) return SUMX(_t,[Current QTR Value])(4)Then we can put the filed we need on the visual ,and we can sort the [Current QTR] by the column [Sort_Falg] we create , then wen can meet your need , the result is as follows:
If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Hi Aniya - thank you very much. What would this look like as a column instead of a measure? I'm looking to have this work if only the current quarter is filtered, which, as a measure, would not show a prior quarter's value. Thank you
Prior QTR Value = var _prior_qtr =SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Prior QTR]) var _t= FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[Current QTR] = _prior_qtr) return SUMX(_t,[Current QTR Value])
