    Hi dapperscavenger,

     

    Assuming you have a date table related with your main data add the following measures:

     

    TotalMTD = TOTALMTD(SUM(Data[ShipmentsVolumeEUs]);DimDate[Date])

TotalMTDPY =
TOTALMTD (
    SUM ( Data[ShipmentsVolumeEUs] );
    SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( DimDate[Date] )
)


YOY = IF ( [TotalMTDPY] = BLANK (); BLANK (); [TotalMTD] - [TotalMTDPY] )

YOY% = IF([TotalMTDPY] = BLANK();BLANK();[YOY]/[TotalMTDPY]+1)

    Last measure format as % final result below:

    Hi dapperscavenger,

     

    You need to have a date column on the measure something like this:

     

    TotalMTDPY = TOTALMTD(SUM(FinalReport[ShipmentsVolumeEUs]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(FinalReport[MonthYear]))

    Do you have the column MonthYear as a date if so the above formula should work.

Thanks MFelix

 

I can't quite get the second measure.  I have:

 

TotalMTDPY = TOTALMTD(SUM(FinalReport[ShipmentsVolumeEUs]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(FinalReport[MonthYear].[Date]))

What have I done wrong?

 

Thank you!
