Matrix Visual: Compare 2 coulumns

[dlogan]

Is it possible to compare one column with another column in a matrix visual? In other words, I need to calculate the year over year change in acres. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @dlogan ,

Whether your problem has been resolved? If yes, could you please mark your post as Answered?

Otherwise, you can create a measure as below and put it on Values option of matrix...

Difference =
VAR _year =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] )
VAR _category =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Category] )
VAR _preyear =
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Category] = _category
                && 'Table'[Year] = _year - 1
        ),
        [Total Acres]
    )
RETURN
    [Total Acres] - _preyear

If the above ones can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables(exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

@dlogan , Create a YOY measure and push that to Grand total using isinscope

Current Measure = (SUM(Sales[Sales Amount])

Year behind Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

YOY = divide( [Current Measure] -[Year behind Measure], [Year behind Measure])

Final Measure = If(isinscope(Date[Year]), [Current Measure], [YOY])

Assuming you are using a date table and date table's field are using in slicer, visual and mesure

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
