    Hi Anonymous 

    You may create two measures to get the value.

    Percentage =
VAR _2019 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[NetShipments] ),
        FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Year] = 2019 )
    )
VAR _2018 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[NetShipments] ),
        FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Year] = 2018 )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( Table1[Year] ),
        SUM ( Table1[NetShipments] ),
        FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( _2019 - _2018, _2018 ), "Percent" )
    )
