Hello,
I'd like to know if it was possible to add icons based on evolution in a Matrix.
In the example below, I added the icons from the "cell element" section but they are currently based on some random % rule
What I would like to see is the icon based on the previous Year.
So if the Hours viewed from 2023 are larger than 2022, I want to see a green upward arrow in the 2023.
Same for 2022 vs 2021, 2021 vs 2020 and so on
Thank you,
Arthur
@Arthur_NS Should be possible by creating a measure that compares the current year to the previous year. To be more specific would need sample data or more information. If you years are numeric then maybe this:
Measure =
VAR __Year = MAX('Table'[Year])
VAR __Current = SUM('Table'[Hours viewed])
VAR __Previous = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'), [Year] = __Year - 1), [Hours viewed])
VAR __Diff = __Current - __Previous
VAR __Result =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
__Diff > 0, 1,
__Diff < 0, 2,
3
)
RETURN
__Result
