Hello community, I am trying to calculate the year to year difference between these two columns. The values are coming from one column and the year is not in date format, so a time intelligence function will not work.

Hi ,
The method SamWiseOwl provided should be helpful. Besides, you can also try the following DAX formula.
Yeartoyear difference =
var _year = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Year])
VAR _PreviousDate = CALCULATE (MAX('Table'[Year]), 'Table'[Year] < _year)
var _cost = SUM('Table'[Cost])
var _previouscost = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Cost]), 'Table'[Year] = _PreviousDate)
RETURN
_cost - _previouscost
