calculation relating to previous years
I have a table with multiple values per company and each line represents a year.
I need to calculate a one-year value (one line) divided by another year of value (other line). But these lines has no fixed year, I have a company that has the years 2015, 2014, 2013, and others that have the years 2014, 2013, 2012 and so on.
The calculation is done by the company. Do not mix one with another company.
Can someone help me?
Assuming a DataTable with columns Company, Year, and Value, and you want to get a YoY value, you can use this calculation:
YoY = [Value] / CALCULATE(MAX([Value]), FILTER('DataTable', EARLIER('DataTable'[Company]) = 'DataTable'[Company] && EARLIER('DataTable'[Year]) = 'DataTable'[Year] + 1))This results in this output with sample data:

Hi Jessica,
worked perfectly.
Pen include DIVIDE function, not to be written in the infinity values:YoY = DIVIDE([Value]; CALCULATE(MAX([Value]), FILTER('DataTable', EARLIER('DataTable'[Company]) = 'DataTable'[Company] && EARLIER('DataTable'[Year]) = 'DataTable'[Year] + 1)); BLANK())
thank you so much.
