Difference between two years

Hello,

 

I need to know how much the value changed on monthly basis. For example, if I select "Laundary", I like to view how much annual difference percentage was between 2017 and 2018. The question is how to calculate this "new measure"?

How can I show the monthly difference percent on top of each month on this bar chart?

I need this new measure get updated based on my selection from the slicers as well.

Many Thanks

    Hi Alirezam ,

    For your requirement, we could create the measure below to achieve it.

    Measure =
VAR minyear =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Sales] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table1',
            YEAR ( 'Table1'[Date] ) = YEAR ( MIN ( 'Table1'[Date] ) )
                && MONTH ( 'Table1'[Date] ) = MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table1'[Date] ) )
        )
    )
VAR maxyear =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Sales] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table1',
            YEAR ( 'Table1'[Date] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( 'Table1'[Date] ) )
                && MONTH ( 'Table1'[Date] ) = MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table1'[Date] ) )
        )
    )
RETURN
    ( maxyear - minyear ) / maxyear

    Then we could create a line and clusterd column chart like below.

    More details, please refer to my attachment.

      Hi, Thanks for your reply. I did what you said but still the line does not show anyting and sticks to the x-axis. Please note that I get [date] from another table named 'Calendar'
