Advocate III% difference month to previous month
Dear Power BI Community
Hope you all doing well so far 🙂
Following problem to solve:
Let's assume a table with this structure - In real life, of course, the table is a lot bigger 🙂
| ID | Date | Category |
| 12058409 | 11.04.2021 | A |
| 12058409 | 11.04.2021 | A |
| 12058473 | 11.04.2021 | A |
| 12058481 | 11.04.2021 | A |
| 12058481 | 11.04.2021 | B |
| 12058482 | 12.04.2021 | B |
| 12058500 | 12.04.2021 | C |
| 12058500 | 12.04.2021 | C |
| 12058505 | 13.04.2021 | A |
| 12058537 | 14.04.2021 | A |
| 12058546 | 15.04.2021 | A |
| 12058575 | 16.04.2021 | A |
The aim is now to calculate as automated as possible the sum of each category and show
- % difference week to previous week
- % difference month to previous month
- % difference year to previous year
-> like this for mothn (same with year and week)
| Category | Previous Month (Count) | Current Month (Count) | % Difference |
| A | 280 | 371 | 32.50% |
| B | 563 | 466 | -17.23% |
| C | 212 | 225 | 6.13% |
Thank you so much for your contribution.
Cheers
