Using Earlier Value

Capture.PNG

I would like to do a calucation that divides the first column by the previous second column value. How would I do this?

 

For example for 201805 the calculation would be 2337/247945 and for 201804 it would be 2228/240730....etc.

Assuming first column in the Matrix is named "MonthYear"...try this MEASURE

 

Measure =
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( Table1[Col1] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Col2] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Table1[MonthYear] ),
            Table1[MonthYear]
                = MAX ( Table1[MonthYear] ) - 1
        )
    )
)
