@vsilva82 if you want it to add as a column, use the following DAX to achieve the result. This is based on the assumption of the sample data you have provided.

 

VAR % as Column = 
VAR __currentRow = 'Table'[CINESEMANA]
VAR __prevRow = __currentRow - 1
VAR __prevRowValue = 
CALCULATE ( 
    MAX ( 'Table'[PÚBLICO] ), 
    ALL ( 'Table' ),  
    'Table'[CINESEMANA] = __prevRow 
)
RETURN 
DIVIDE ( 
    'Table'[PÚBLICO] - __prevRowValue, 
    __prevRowValue 
)
