% Change over user selected year columns
Hi all,
First time poster! I'd appreciate any help you can give me with this question...
I need to create a dynamic matrix and line chart that shows the percentage change over selected year columns. Example below.
There are 10 years in the report and a user can select any combination of years. The selected years need not be contiguous, but are displayed in order (L to R). If a user adds more years, the table recalculates to reflect all possible % changes. If only 1 year is selected you'd see a blank table/chart. I think this means that a date table may not be appropriate as I want the calculation to work over non-contiguous years.
The result I'm looking for is exactly the same as if you used a pivot table to show % Difference From (previous).
So from this:
| Category | 2020 | 2022 | 2023 |
| A | 405379 | 338089 | 411576 |
| B | 263250 | 229064 | 279059 |
| C | 19864 | 11037 | 15044 |
| D | 90307 | 43171 | 125443 |
| E | 30593 | 17600 | 29115 |
| Grand Total | 809393 | 638961 | 860237 |
I want this:
| Category | 2020 | 2022 | 2023 |
| A | -17% | 22% | |
| B | -13% | 22% | |
| C | -44% | 36% | |
| D | -52% | 191% | |
| E | -42% | 65% | |
| Grand Total | -21% | 35% |
And this:
Happy to provide more info.
Many thanks!
Chris.
