Difference between two columns in column chart in percentage

Hi

 

I've tried to read through a couple of posts on this matter but can't seem to find out if this is doable. 

 

What I want to do is to show the difference between two coulumns in a column chart i percentage. 

 

I've found this example from google that shows how it would look like in excel. Do someone know if this is doable in BI in any way? Maybe you guys know a simple solution to the question.

This is my ultra simple table:

Thanks in advance

@hans3400 , Use a MOM measure using time intelligence and date table. Use a Clustered Bar Line visual and ise Change % on line

 

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]))
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]))

 

MOM = divide([This month]-[Last Month], [Last Month])

 

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