Hi, I am trying to solve an interesting and challenging problem.

2021-09  11004800   
2021-10  200030004000  
2021-11  3000400060007000 
2021-12  40005000700090001000

 

I want to calculate diagonally and show the ouput as below 
Note : I have also given new column names

mth    0-11-22-33-4
2021-10  273%83.3%  
2021-11  200.0%50.0%57.1% 
2021-12  60.0%57.1%66.7%700.0%

 

Formula : (row 2, column 2)  3000 /  (row1,column1) 1100 = 273%

HI @akshbhala,

You can do unpivot columns on your fields to convert them to attribute and value, then remove the character to only keep number in your attribute fields.

Unpivot columns - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

After these steps, you can create segment table with different ranges and use with raw table field and new table segment to create matrix. Then you can write a measure to look up and calculate value based on current category and segment.

Hi,

row number or column number are relative things, you should have a exact definition for thes rows, columns

example: row 2 is current month and row 1 is prevous month, and column 2 is current week, and column 1 is previous week. That possible make DAX function
