Difference between current month and previous month

Dear Community,

 

I want to calculate the difference in percentage between the current and previous month  / and the current and before the previous / and the current and the quarter

 

my table is as the following:

 

Table: Append1

Date column: Month name

Value as measure: IDP Arrived IND 2018+2019

 

thank you in advance,

 

Nour

  • Hi NourJ 

    Assume "before the previous" refers to total before previous month,

    let to say, current month is 5, "before the previous" should be value in 1,2,3 month.

     

    Assume "the quarter" refers to the quarter of current month

    let to say, current month is 5, "the quarter" refers to quarter (month 4,5,6)

     

    If I understand correctly, create such measures

    current = [IDP Arrived IND 2018+2019]
    
    previous month = CALCULATE([current],FILTER(ALL(Append1),Append1[Month name]=MAX(Append1[Month name])-1))
    
    difference(Current-previous) = [current]-[previous month]
    
    diff/current = [difference(Current-previous)]/[current]
    
    before the previous = SUMX(FILTER(ALL(Append1),Append1[Month name]<MAX(Append1[Month name])),[current])
    
    quarter no 1 = SWITCH(Append1[Month name],1,1,2,1,3,1,4,2,5,2,6,2,7,3,8,3,9,3,10,4,11,4,12,4)
    //this is a calcutaed column instead of a measure, others are measures
    the quarter = SUMX(ALLEXCEPT(Append1,Append1[quarter no 1]),[current])

    As for percentage, you could do the meausre like [measure1]/[measure2] or divide([measure1],[measure2])

    Then change the data format to percentage type.

     

    Best Regards
