Year Over Year Calculation With IF statement
I am trying to create a year over year formula that would provide the percent change, however we did not collect any data in 2020 so I need to exclude the 2020 data and have 2021 compared against 2019. This is the formula that I came up with but it seems I did something wrong...Any suggestions?
% Change= [LY]/CALCULATE([LT], DATEADD('Master Date'[Date],-1,YEAR), IF('Master Date'[Year]="2020), CALCULATE( [LT Season], DATEADD('Master Date'[Date], -2, YEAR)
Thanks!
