Table comparison between current and last year

 

I am using the table to compare the current month and the same month last year. Here is the DAX I used for both columns

Actual hours = sum(submissionCycleTime[# of actual hours])

 

LY Submission time = CALCULATE([Actual hours],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateMasterT1[Date]))

 

I want the actual hour's columns to show green, yellow, and red arrows depending on the below calculations

((LY Submission time – Actual hours)/LY Submission hours) *100.

The color code for the arrows as follows

Is there a way to do that.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Majed

@Anonymous , you can create a color measure like

Switch(true(),
[change%] <.16 , "Red" ,
[change%] <.18 , "yellow" ,
"green"
)

 

The same way you can create a unichar measure and combine both
