    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.

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.
