Matrix Table One extra column for icon

FECStevenL_1-1714504341049.png

 

This is my current matrix table. The info within is confidential, so I need to blur, but needed to show what I'm trying to accomplish.
Rows: Facility
Columns: Week Ending Date
Values: Potential Savings


I'm going to explain this in a couple different ways to make sure I'm getting across what is in my head. lol.
I'm wanting to add one more column at the end. With icons to show up or down arrows, indicating whether or not the number went up or down. Only between the last two values.
Another way of saying it: I need 5 weeks to show, but I want a 6th column at the end that compares the 5th week to the 4th week, and displays an arrow up or down depending.

 

Is this even possible?

Hi @FECStevenL ,

Please have a try.

Create a measure.

Trend Indicator = 
VAR CurrentWeekValue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Potential Savings]), 'Table'[Week Ending Date] = MAX('Table'[Week Ending Date]))
VAR PreviousWeekValue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Potential Savings]), 'Table'[Week Ending Date] = MAX('Table'[Week Ending Date]) - 7)
RETURN
IF(CurrentWeekValue > PreviousWeekValue, "Up", IF(CurrentWeekValue < PreviousWeekValue, "Down", "Same"))
