    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.
