Show % change for total yoy

[Raghda_Alshehhi]

I have a table which shows only totals per year, and i needto show the percentage change/growth on the same graph

What is the measure for that and which is the approriate graph type? e.g. year vs sales for each year

e.g. Table "total"

year	Total
1986	10000
1987	23666
1988	45876

Also, i have a table that lists only entries for employees (acheivments) (Only i can ghow can i calculate day/month/year % change for this, with card showing the values in red - / or green + (depends if the value is less or more that the previos selected day/month/year

Date	Achievments
12-01-2021	New project
13-01-2021	Employee of the month
14-01-2021	Cost reduction initiative

The idea is to monitor the changes/% for staff

all the queries here answers the changes for sum, but i din't find any solution for the total count

Hi @Raghda_Alshehhi ,

You can calculate the total for the previous year as

previous total = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[year]=MAX('Table'[year])-1))+0

The percent change is then calculated as follows.

percentage = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Total])-[previous total],[previous total])+0

You can try the stacked column chart to dispaly.

This is excellent. This works except I have another column called version. How do I add version = version to this. Basically I have multiple years as additional row so want it where field  version is the same (aswell as the year is minus one as per example which works)
