Hi everyone,
I'm trying to calculate the percentage variance of year to month for column B with with date range being selected from the slicer.
The goal: I want to show variance on how the book_delivery performed when some seleect a month versus the same month the previous year and the result be diplayed in a card.
This is a sample of my data set:
Shipping | Book_Delivered |
10/24/2019 | 424,028 |
10/14/2019 | 424,529 |
10/7/2019 | 424,028 |
8/28/2019 | 133,404 |
7/31/2019 | 395,239 |
6/20/2019 | 844,560 |
6/6/2019 | 846,992 |
5/22/2019 | 847,522 |
5/1/2019 | 847,267 |
4/17/2019 | 859,911 |
3/19/2019 | 855,021 |
2/13/2019 | 890,476 |
1/22/2019 | 892,896 |
12/18/2018 | 894,749 |
12/7/2018 | 30,752 |
11/28/2018 | 904,343 |
10/27/2018 | 456,948 |
11/7/2018 | 907,243 |
9/18/2018 | 901,813 |
7/19/2018 | 904,519 |
6/14/2018 | 905,212 |
5/17/2018 | 864,080 |

Hi @Anonymous ,
Is this what you want?
Measure 2 =
VAR x=
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Book_Delivered]),
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date])
)
var y =
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Book_Delivered]),
FILTER(
Sheet1,
YEAR(Sheet1[Shipping])
)
)
RETURN
DIVIDE(
x,y
)

For someone else who might look for a solution to the variance use the formula that @v-lionel-msft and add -1
Measure 2 =
VAR x=
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Book_Delivered]),
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date])
)
var y =
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet1[Book_Delivered]),
FILTER(
Sheet1,
YEAR(Sheet1[Shipping])
)
)
RETURN
DIVIDE(
x,y
)-1
Thanks for answering this question. Is the Dax you wrote kind of similar to [This Period/Same Month last period]-1
Hi @Anonymous ,
The DAX formula means:
This Period/Same Month last period.
