Percent Change Between Matrix

I have this matrix that I would like to add a third column with the percent change between the two categories. For instance, the first value for U-16191 would be about a -17.99% decrease. How do I accomphish this?

Hi , @Anonymous 

Try steps as below:

Create measure "measure value" to instead  the field  "value" :

Measure  value =
VAR _inital_Request =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] = "Initial Request" )
    )
VAR _MPSC_Approved =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] = "MPSC Approved" )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Category] ),
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        _MPSC_Approved / _inital_Request - 1
    )

  

Change the column subtotals label from total to"Percentchange"

I believe you want:

 

Measure =
  VAR __Sum1 = SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Category] = "Initial Request"),[Value])
  VAR __Sum2 = SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Category] = "MSPC Approved"),[Value])
RETURN
(__Sum1 - __Sum2) / __Sum1

 

Now, you may run into the issue where this measure ends up getting added multiple times. You can get around that by using something like this:

Hi Ryan,

 

Try to follow the steps below

 

Create a new column inside power bi with the formula below

Percentage change = (MPSC Approved / Initial Request) - 1

 

Then click on the column and click on modeling to change the format to percentage. 

 

And finally, add this new column to your matrix. 

 

🙂
