Hi There, 

 

I am trying to do a Year over Year calculation in power BI for the following data 

PeriodTotal Production VarianceFinancial Year Identifier
12/31/201470Prior Period 2
12/31/201590Prior Period
12/31/2016100Current Period

 can you help me get he year over year calc - current year - prior period /prior period  and current period - Prior period 2 / prior period 2 

without hardcoding the values ??

I tried the quick measures it doesn't work in my table/

 

I also tried doing this myself it doesnt work 

 

SumVariance = CALCULATE(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]))

VarianceLastYear = Calculate(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]) ,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Inventory Summary Data'[Period].[Date]))

YoYVariance = if(SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Summary Data'[Financial Year Identifier]) = "Current Period",[SumVariance]/[VarianceLastYear]-1)

 

 

PLEASE HELP !!!

Thanks

Hi @motyagi,

 

Based on my test, we can get the values as you want the following steps.

1. Enter the data as you shared and create the measure as below:

VarianceLastYear = Calculate(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]) ,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Inventory Summary Data'[Period]))
VarianceLast2Year = TOTALYTD(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]),DATEADD('Inventory Summary Data'[Period],-2,YEAR))
YoYVariance = var
P =SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Summary Data'[Financial Year Identifier])
return
IF(P = "Current Period",[SumVariance]/[VarianceLastYear]-1)
YoYVariance2 = var
P =SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Summary Data'[Financial Year Identifier])
return
IF(P = "Current Period",[SumVariance]/[VarianceLast2Year]-1)


2. Then we can get the result as below.
