Get This Week - Last Week Value

Hi,

 

How do i calculate values based on criteria referring single column, for example

 

Column 1 is week number and column 2 is Booking Amt

 

Now how can i get variance of booking amt like Booking Amt for Week 1 - Booking Amt for Week 2

 

thank you!!

  • Hi AllG,

     

    Add an index column in Query Editor mode. Before adding an index column, please sort data based on week number column.

     

    Close and apply all these operations. But if [Column1] values are whole number type rather than text, there is no need to do above changes.

     

    In design surface, add a calculated column using below formula:

    variance of booking amt =
    IF (
        'booking amt'[Column1] = "Week1",
        BLANK (),
        LOOKUPVALUE (
            'booking amt'[Column2],
            'booking amt'[Index], 'booking amt'[Index] - 1
        )
            - 'booking amt'[Column2]
    )

     

    Best regards,
