Percent Change Between Values on Line Chart

My query is almost identical to this one: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Percent-Change-Between-Values-on-Line-Chart/td-p/957563

However I am new to Power BI and my formulae creating is not that great so i am seeking some help to create the formula specific to my measures. I attempted to follow the formula suggested in the previous thread however I am getting some errors, maybe i am not using the right measures and fields.

Below is what the graph looks like:

Below are the fields/measures used to create the line graph:

How can I show the percentage difference between the values in the 2 lines, either in tooltip or as a visual on the graph?

Thanks!!

hi  @Anonymous 

Yes, you could get it by this simple way as below:

Step1:

Just create a percent change measure as bleow:

Percent Change=DIVIDE([Line 1]-[Line 2],[Line 2])

Step2:

Then drag this measure into Column values as below

Of course, you could set the column for column to white
