Thanks Sean

 

Yes, I need to show the trend by month. still I need to keep year in trend field?

 

Actually my requirement is that I need to show a trend graph in a way that what is the total sales this month and compare the value with previous year same perid sales.

 

Other screenshot you mentioned also useful for my requirement to show all the months variance between current value and previous year value in table format, however that would need to create KPI in powerpivot or in SSAS tabular model right?

 

Thanks!

    shamsuddeenvp Yes to both quesitions.

     

    I would consider using a different visual - you don't have that much flexibility with the built in KPI

     

    Look the charts look the same shape but the PBI built-in KPI will give you pretty much no details...

      Thanks Sean

       

      Please let me know if there is any feasibility to have a green Top directed arrow (Image) and red downward arrow to show whether the value is growing or shrinking. This image dynamically should change based on the variance value.
