Week Over Week Percentage Changes
Hello,
I have a table that stores a savings information for a worker by week (Columns are "Name", "Week Date", and "Savings"). I am able to display the data as follows:
| Name | 4/20/2019 | 5/4/2019 | 5/11/2019 | 5/18/2019 |
| Larry | $187.20 | $192.50 | $187.40 | $155.70 |
| George | $254.60 | $222.70 | $255.10 | $301.40 |
| Bob | $188.60 | $150.80 | $120.40 | $135.20 |
| Wendy | $354.10 | $401.20 | $358.40 | $311.50 |
I would like to calculate the week-over-week percentage changes for each worker and display in the following manner:
| 4/20/2019 | 5/4/2019 | 5/11/2019 | 5/18/2019 | |||||
| Name | Savings | % Change | Savings | % Change | Savings | % Change | Savings | % Change |
| Larry | $187.20 | N/A | $192.50 | 3% | $187.40 | -3% | $155.70 | -17% |
| George | $254.60 | N/A | $222.70 | -13% | $255.10 | 15% | $301.40 | 18% |
| Bob | $188.60 | N/A | $150.80 | -20% | $120.40 | -20% | $135.20 | 12% |
| Wendy | $354.10 | N/A | $401.20 | 13% | $358.40 | -11% | $311.50 | -13% |
I'm having difficulty creating the measure needed for this. Any advice?
Thanks!

Hey,
maybe you are already aware of this article: https://www.daxpatterns.com/time-patterns/
This is a great start of date/time related calculations in Power BI.
