Percent Change with multiple values between years

[nrenaud]

Hello! I am creating a matrix that consists of years (along the columns) and different values (along the rows - these also pull from different tables).

I am wondering if there is a way to create a percent change column from year to year for all of the different values. I am finding DAX to do this with one type of value, but I would like it to just calculate for each specific year, for all of the values (example: 2015 vs 2014, 2016 vs 2015, and so on).

This is what I am working with so far:

Ideally, I would like the percent change between each year column.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

@v-xuding-msft @amitchandak ,

Thank you both for possible options. I am wondering if these of these would work with multiple values? In the snapshot included in the post, I am actually pulling the values from 3 different tables, all of which are joined to my date table. I'm wondering if what I am trying to accomplish here is even possible (I am thinking kinda of like excel, where I could have a percent change column in between each year, for each of the values on the left). 

Thanks! 🙂

Hi @nrenaud ,

The formulas that amitchandak suggests should work fine. You also could try DATEADD and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function to calculate the values of last year if you are using calendar table.

Measure = 
var thisYear = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]))
var lastYear = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]),DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR))
return
DIVIDE(thisYear-lastYear,lastYear)

Measure 2_SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR = 
var thisYear = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]))
var lastYear = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))
return
DIVIDE(thisYear-lastYear,lastYear)

@nrenaud ,

Try with a separate date/year table

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

diff = [This Year]-[Last Year]
diff %= divide([This Year]-[Last Year],[Last Year])

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 :
