MoM

Hey All!

I have this measure:

MoM =
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [Last Month AVG Net]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [Net USD AVG]
RETURN
IF(
NOT ISBLANK(__VALUE_TO_COMPARE),
DIVIDE(__VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE)
) & IF([????????] >0, "⇧","⇩")
 

I added to the Measure what is marked in red
My problem is
I want that  if the measure will be negative  so a down arrow, and if is positive arrow in green
1. What to put inside the question marks? (in blue)
2. How to arrange the colors?

Thank you!

    MoM = 
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [Last Month AVG Net]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [Net USD AVG]
VAR __CONDITION =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
            FORMAT (
                DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE, 0 ),
                "0.0%"
            )
    )
VAR __CONDITION_UNFORMATTED =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
        DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE, 0 )
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        VALUE ( __CONDITION_UNFORMATTED ) >= 0, CONCATENATE ( __CONDITION, CONCATENATE ( " ", UNICHAR ( 9650 ) ) ),
        CONCATENATE ( __CONDITION, CONCATENATE ( " ", UNICHAR ( 128315 ) ) )
    )

    with this measure I get the correct classification, it has to be something in your data.

    Hello there netanel ! You can try this:

     

    MoM = 
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [Last Month AVG Net]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [Net USD AVG]
VAR __CONDITION =
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
        DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH ( TRUE (), __CONDITION > 0, UNICHAR ( 9650 ), UNICHAR ( 128315 ) )

     

    Hope this answer solves your problem!

      Hey goncalogeraldes 

      Thanks for the quick respons!

      Something is wrong
      1. Instead of bringing me a number and the arrow next to it  only brings me the arrow
      2. The condition is right the arrow goes up and down in the right places, but instead of green I get black color and another arrow

      In the card above your formula

        Hello there netanel ! I thought you only wanted the arrow. Try this then:

        MoM =
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [Last Month AVG Net]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [Net USD AVG]
VAR __CONDITION =
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
        DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        __CONDITION > 0,
            __CONDITION && " "
                && UNICHAR ( 9650 ),
        __CONDITION && " "
            && UNICHAR ( 128315 )
    )

        You can further customize to your needs 🙂

      Hey goncalogeraldes 

      I stick to this solution
      I just put card on card and that's how I got my formula that it's good and your arrow.
      The problem is that sometimes even though the negative result the sign is positive
      Can understand why?
