How to dynamically calculate the cost difference between two dates per item?

Hi everyone,

 

Looking for some help to calculate the cost increase/decrease between two date points per product. I would like to display any increases/decreases per item. Each item in the list are part of a BOM for an overall product. An example scenaro is needing to show any cost differences between 2022-03-01 & 2022-04-01 which would show changes in A ($0.50) and C ($0.20).

 

I'm guessing I would need to utilize the MAX/MIN functions in a measure, but having trouble creating a measure that compares each item. There are too many date points to due the calculation per date via a new column and all the data is unpivoted. 

 

  • 2 date values are selected via the standard PBI slicer visual
  • The underlying data format in PBI is displayed below:  
Part#Date Price 
A2022-01-01 $                                          1.25
A2022-02-01 $                                          1.25
A2022-03-01 $                                          1.25
A2022-04-01 $                                          1.75
A2022-05-01 $                                          1.75
B2022-01-01 $                                          3.50
B2022-02-01 $                                          3.50
B2022-03-01 $                                          3.50
B2022-04-01 $                                          3.50
B2022-05-01 $                                          3.50
C2022-01-01 $                                          2.00
C2022-02-01 $                                          2.00
C2022-03-01 $                                          2.00
C2022-04-01 $                                          2.20
C2022-05-01 $                                          2.20

Hi  @powerjey ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Measure =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
var _max=MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
return
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=_max&&'Table'[Part#]=MAX('Table'[Part#])),[Price])
-
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=_min&&'Table'[Part#]=MAX('Table'[Part#])),[Price])

2. Result:

Thanks so much! Works perfectly. 

I've learned alot from this post. 

In my case I have used your guidance to fix my issue.. Thanks a lot

 

% new perc =
var w_previous = MINX(ALLSELECTED('DP Fcast (2)'),[Week_final])
var w_current = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('DP Fcast (2)'),[Week_final])

var diff1 = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('DP Fcast (2)'),'DP Fcast (2)'[Week_final]= w_current&&'DP Fcast (2)'[Location]=MAX('DP Fcast (2)'[Location])),[Fcast Volume(in EA) by Location])
var diff2 = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('DP Fcast (2)'),'DP Fcast (2)'[Week_final]= w_previous&&'DP Fcast (2)'[Location]=MAX('DP Fcast (2)'[Location])),[Fcast Volume(in EA) by Location])

var diff = diff1 - diff2
var total = (diff1 + diff2) / 2
var diff_perc = diff / total
var result = diff_perc
return resultPowerbiScreenshot 2022-09-27 092624.jpg
