@dmarangop You can create a measure like below. and change the format to percentage

 

Option 1: If you have already have two measures for both 2020 and 2021

Variance = Sum(2021)/Sum(2020)-1

 

Option 2: if you do not have seperate measure

variance = (calcualte(sum(sales), year='2021') / calcualte(sum(sales), year='2021') ) -1 

 

let me know if it helps you
