Percentage of change with 2 data slicers

Hi,

 

I have a scenario with two data slicers. The first data slicer filters data for the current period, the second one for a previous period. By editing visual interactions I got this works at the same page.

Now I want to calculate percentage change between two values and this is a point where I have a problem - my % of change is always 100 or 0. How can I solve this? Please see a screenshot below.

This is how I calculate "number of transactions (# of Transactions):

 

# of Transactions = COUNT(Report[ProductID]) - for the current period
# of Transactions PP = COUNT(Report[ProductID]) - for a previous period period

 

 

These two measures are sliced with two different data slicers and the resultsare 1,990 / 2,787. Now I want to calculate % of change. I tried with: 

 

% Change = 1 - DIVIDE([# of Transactions],[# of Transactions PP])

I understand why a result is 100% ut I don't know how to fix it (I need both data slicers on he page).

I made some changes but still don't right result. i made two date columns - each for both date slicers, and I calculated First Date and Last Date for each date range. The percantage change is still wrong.

 

# of Transactions = CALCULATE(COUNT(Report[ProductID]),DATESBETWEEN(Report[Date],[Start Date],[Last Date]))


# of Transactions PP = CALCULATE(COUNT(Report[ProductID]),DATESBETWEEN(Report[Date PP],[Start Date PP],[Last Date PP])) - previous period (second slicer)


% Transaction Change = ([# of Transactions]/[# of Transactions PP]) - 1

HI @LakiCG,

 

I think these timeline slicers are use same source column with different interaction to effect measures, right?

 

If this is a case, power bi not support to get different result from same datasource column at same time.

 

Please duplicate a table with same relationship and use this table as source one of timeline slier to achieve your requirement.
