Show difference between 2 curves

I have a basic graphic visual that show the YTD performance each year. I want to show the difference between the December performance of 2021 and 2023 (like in the picture below), is there any way to add that ?

I already have a measure that calculate the difference between any YTD performance and the one from December 2021 (that is used as a reference)

Hi @Arkhos94 ,

Thank you for @amitchandak answer , and I have other suggestions for you:

First of all, thank you for creating a measure about Difference with 2021-12 Performance, but there is currently no way to add a difference arrow to the line chart, it can only be displayed in the tooltip.

Best Regards,

Xianda Tang

I build a measure that show "Current performance (difference with 2021-12 performance" and put it on the graph using the new label option, thanks for the idea

 

Is there any way to show an arrow like I added on my picture ?

@Arkhos94 , You can use the new detailed option in label and display YTD diff. but it will show for all values. Noy you can control that display on last month.

 

if(Max(Date[Month]) = maxx(allselected(Date), Date[Month]) ,[YTD Diff], blank())
