Re: Help with Matrix Visual

Hello all,

I am using the default Matix visual to display data from a table as you can see below. The Columns show a number for each country per month and i am looking for a way to add a column to this matix that allow me to enter formulas that would calculate YTD growth or month to month difference. Any help would be greatly apprecaited

Thank you however i am having a really hard time creating additional columns that would help me determine YTD values. For example below is a description of my table which has 9 columns and about 500K rows

The ReportMonth column has 4 possible values (Jan 2019, Feb 2019, Mar 2019 and Apr 2019). Also values for UserPrincipalName could be present up to 4 times since the data is an append from 4 identical tables from each month. How could i create a formula that would count the instances of each month per country and then the item count difference between each month?

Thank you all
