    Hi tracytran91 ,

    Suppose you are comparing the past 3 months with the current month, you can create a measure like this:

    Growth% = 
VAR _mindate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
VAR last3month =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Date] >= _mindate
                && 'Table'[Date] <= _maxdate
        )
    )
VAR currentmonth =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
                && MONTH ( 'Table'[Date] ) = MONTH ( TODAY () )
        )
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( currentmonth - last3month, last3month )

    Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

    tracytran91 , With one date(using date table) with min and max

    measure =
    var _max = maxx(allselected(Data), Data[Date])
    var _Min = minx(allselected(Data), Data[Date])
    return
    divide(calculate([measure],filter('Date', 'Date'[date] =_max)) -calculate([measure],filter('Date', 'Date'[date] =_min)),calculate([measure],filter('Date', 'Date'[date] =_min)))

     

    With two date ranges

    To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

    Hi tracytran91 ,

    You can create a date table based on your source table and use it as a slicer:

    Date = DISTINCT('Table'[Date])

    Create a measure like this to calculate growth%:

    Growth% =
VAR _selectdatevalue =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[value] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Table'[value] ) - _selectdatevalue, SUM ( 'Table'[value] ) )

    v-yingjl amitchandak Thank for your solution. Unfortunately, the result is not as I expected. 

    I would like selected date on slicer such as "last 3 months", "last 6 months", "last 1 year"..... and it shows up the % growth regarding to the selected date.

      tracytran91 , do want like this diff 3 vs 3 before it 

       

      Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],eomonth(MAX('Date'[Date]),0),-3,MONTH))
      Rolling 3 before 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],eomonth(MAX('Date'[Date]),-3),-3,MONTH))

       

      or

       

      Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date]),-3,MONTH))
      Rolling 3 before 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAXX('Date',dateadd('Date'[Date],-3,month)),-3,MONTH))

    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( currentmonth - last3month, last3month )
