How can I show % Change of Revenue Data using Year & Month data?

[DRing]

I have very simple data (like below, sample data attached) where I have 3 years of revenue data by state and columns for year and month. My requirements are:

1. User can select a current and comparison period using slicers (either two slicers if mo & year are combined or four slicers if mo and year are seperate).

2. Visual to show Revenue by state for selected and comparison period.

3. Visual to show % change by state for current vs comparison period.

I'm used to working with data where I have a specific date for each data point and I'm struggling with how to modify my approach to work with month/year data.

Any thoughts on how I can produce the requried visuals?

Hi,

I have solved a similar problem in the attached PBI file.  Please review it and apply it to your dataset.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @Ashish_Mathur Will try this also.

@DRing 

output 

model : 

steps : 

create the 2 tables  :  currentperiod  and previousperiod as follow : 

currentperiod =

ALLNOBLANKROW(data[Month], data[Year])

previousperiod =

ALLNOBLANKROW(data[Month], data[Year])

step2 

then create a calculated column ,  year-month in the  3 tables : 

year-month = 'currentperiod'[Year] & "-" & 'currentperiod'[Month]

step3 : 

create 2 slicers, reading from currentperiod and previousperiod respectivtly.

finally, create the following measures : 

period1 sales =

SUM(data[Revenue])

period2 sales =

CALCULATE(

SUM(data[Revenue]),

REMOVEFILTERS(currentperiod),

USERELATIONSHIP(currentperiod[year-month],'previousperiod'[year-month])

)

diff =

[period1 sales]  - [period2 sales]

% variance =

[diff]  /  [period2 sales]

le me know if this helps .

If my answer helped sort things out for you, i would appreciate a thumbs up 👍 and mark it as the solution ✅
It makes a difference and might help someone else too. Thanks for spreading the good vibes! 🤠

@Daniel29195 Works perfectly! Thank you!

No need for slicers, you can do all this directly in the Matrix visual

The new Visual Calculations make this very convenient.  

You can show by year or by month,  you can pick any two months etc.  All in the visual.

Thanks @lbendlin I will try this method as well! I'll follow up after i've tried it.
