Switch

Question

Good morning,&nbsp;I'm wondering if it's possible to have % difference columns in a switch function.&nbsp;I have this switch function which is returning yearly sales? I would like to add 2 columns showing the % diff from 2020 &amp; 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks in advance.amitchandak&nbsp;

brinky , If year is column(used in matrix column, you need a hybrid table). Not a direct option, you need alternatives&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
Otherwise, use [Measure] and [Change %]&nbsp; measure as values
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
if you are looking for a Hybrid display with Matrix Column and measure https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Creating-a-custom-or-hybrid-matrix-in-PowerBI/ba-p/1354591https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-New-Hotness-Custom-Matrix-Hierarchy/m-p/963588#M428
vote for Hybrid Table https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=9bc32b23-1eb1-4e74-8b34-349887b37ebc

brinky , if you have date table and year week coming from there. Last year same day week is 1 year behind , which can be used 
example
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,Day))
