Power BI community,
I have the number of Purchase Orders created by year and department. How may I create a year over year analysis of the number of POs created? I would like my analysis to show count and percentage of the increase or decrease.
Lastly, is there a visual that you recommend I use to display my analysis?
Regards,
Gus Dahu
Hi @gusdahu,
You can have a look at below similar examples that calculate YOY comparison.
Comparing this year and last year measure on a bar chart
Measures – Year Over Year Percent Change
Filtering and comparing different time periods
If you still have any concern, please post sample data and show the expected result.
Regards,

Hi,
A 2 y-axis combination chart would be ideal. The bigger task is not which visual to create but how to compute the figures. Share some data and show your expected result in a simple Table format. Once the Table is ready, we can build any chart.
