Price Index Table Over the Time

Dear All!

We have a table like below:

ahadtk_0-1668756527956.png

Screenshot UP,

Link to the Excel file:

We have several products with their prices over the time since 01-01-2019 so far...

We need a table in Power Bi that show the price indexes on the indexes below:

  • 1 Day
  • 1 Week
  • 1 Month
  • 1 Quarter
  • 6 Months
  • 1 Year
  • 2 Years
  • 3 Years

e.g. Product 1 has 12% decrease its price in the past 24 hrs,

Product 3 has 44% increased in its price since 6 months ago,

 

Something like below:

Many thanks for the help,

Hi @ahadtk ,

1. You can transpose the table in Power Query Editor and then add a new column to assist [Product] sorting. Like this.

2. then please create measures like:

1 Day = 
VAR _DATE_1 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])
VAR _DATE_2 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])-1
VAR _VALUE_1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]= _DATE_1)
VAR _VALUE_2 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]=_DATE_2)
VAR _RATE = DIVIDE(_VALUE_1-_VALUE_2,_VALUE_2)
RETURN
_RATE
1 Week = 
VAR _DATE_1 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])
VAR _DATE_2 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])-7
VAR _VALUE_1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]= _DATE_1)
VAR _VALUE_2 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]=_DATE_2)
VAR _RATE = DIVIDE(_VALUE_1-_VALUE_2,_VALUE_2)
RETURN
_RATE
1 Month = 
VAR _DATE_1 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])
VAR _DATE_2 = EDATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Date]),-1)
VAR _VALUE_1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]= _DATE_1)
VAR _VALUE_2 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]=_DATE_2)
VAR _RATE = DIVIDE(_VALUE_1-_VALUE_2,_VALUE_2)
RETURN
_RATE

...

3 Year = 
VAR _DATE_1 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])
VAR _DATE_2 = EDATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Date]),-36)
VAR _VALUE_1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]= _DATE_1)
VAR _VALUE_2 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]=_DATE_2)
VAR _RATE = DIVIDE(_VALUE_1-_VALUE_2,_VALUE_2)
RETURN
_RATE

3. result:

Hi @ahadtk ,

How about adding a condition to return the Friday date if it is a weekend? Like this:

1 Week = 
VAR _DATE_1 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])
VAR _DATE_2 = MAX('Sheet1'[Date])-7
VAR _DETE_3 = SWITCH(TRUE(),WEEKDAY(_DATE_2,2)=6,_DATE_2-1,WEEKDAY(_DATE_2,2)=7,_DATE_2-2,_DATE_2)
VAR _VALUE_1 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]= _DATE_1)
VAR _VALUE_2 = CALCULATE(MAX('Sheet1'[Value]),'Sheet1'[Date]=_DETE_3)
VAR _RATE = DIVIDE(_VALUE_1-_VALUE_2,_VALUE_2)
RETURN
_RATE

Hi @Anonymous 

We have an issue here,

We have collected the only business days price over the time,

Meaning, we do not have the prices for Saturdays and Sundays,

So, if the last day or last month or ... would be a weekend day,

The new measures do not return any value 😞
