Difference from previous value in same column (matrix)
Greetings,
I'm trying to add a column that will calculate the change from the previous year. Unfortunately, the years run from November to October, so I'm having some difficulty since I can't use time intelligence. I have a column called "Member Year" with the integer values 2019, 2020, and 2021. I'd like to calculate the change in Cumulative New, but I'm not certain how to do this since these values are in the same column. Ideally it would also be dynamic, so if other years are added the difference is automatically calculated. Thanks!

Hi Nester7929
You can create a measure as follows:
diff = VAR _pre = CALCULATE ( [Cumulative New], FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table ), EOMONTH ( [Date], 0 ) = EOMONTH ( MAX ( table[Date] ), -1 ) ) ) RETURN [Cumulative New] - _preBest Regards!
