Inventory Month on Month comparison

Hello, 

I'm trying to create in Power BI a month on month comparison of stock value by SKU/ID

Struggling to find a solution. 

 

My data looks like this, 

Month (Date)SKU/IDValue 
June23 10.26
July23 10.36
Aug23 10.10
June23 20.50
July23 20.75
June23 31.20
Aug2330.50

 

The output I'm trying to get to is a table of the month to month change so I can by month see the biggest varience by value and percentage change.

 

Many thanks in advance

Hi @Brewster0101 ,

 

I think you can try code as below to create measures.

Previous Data by SKU = 
VAR _PREVIOUSVALUE =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Month (Date)] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[SKU/ID] ),
            'Table'[Month (Date)] < MAX ( 'Table'[Month (Date)] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value ] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[SKU/ID] ),
            'Table'[Month (Date)] = _PREVIOUSVALUE
        )
    )
Diff = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value ])) - [Previous Data by SKU]
Change Percentage = 
DIVIDE([Diff],[Previous Data by SKU])

Result is as below.

I think this is what you are looking for - link

 

Please let me know if this is not what you want.

Many thanks for reply. 

I've tried a few of these examples, but they all have only two sets of data to consider,  Date and sales 

I need to also consider a third data set - SKU/PN
