Help with Global Measures
Hi All,
I have some data that looks something like so:
| Prior Year | `Sales | 300 | FY20 |
| Fee Revenue | Sales | 100 | FY20 |
I want to be able to show in a matrix the growth percentage for each row level, with the "Prior Year" amount as the basis. So, for this example, id see
| Prior Year | 300 | 1.00 |
| Fee Revenue | 100 | .33 |
I created a measure for Prior year using CALCULATE(SUM(Value), FY = "Prior Year") but then that only shows up for rows where the line ite is "prior year".
Is there a best practice way to do this? I know the data is uncoventional, should i perhaps try deriving a date column?
Thanks!

According to your description, I can understand clearly what you want to get, you want to create a Matrix to show in a matrix the growth percentage for each row-level, right? I think you can try my steps:
This is my test data based on your sample data:
- To get the row number of each row in the table, I click “Transform data” to go to the Power query to add an index column in the table:
- I created a measure:
growth percentage = var _lastrow= CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Index]=MAX([Index])-1)) return IF(_lastrow=BLANK(), DIVIDE(MAX([Amount]),MAX([Amount])), DIVIDE(MAX([Amount]),_lastrow ))- I created a matrix chart and placed it like this:
And you can get what you want.

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result so that we can help you in advance.
