KPI Visual showing incorrect % distance from goal

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Having an issue with the KPI visual which only seems to occur when dealing with larger % changes. Otherwise it works fine the rest of the time.

I have a case where:

Indicator = A measure that returns the value 29

Trend Axis = A calendar date from date table

Target Goal = A measure that returns the value 1,101.

This is a 3696.55% change, however the visual is showing: +1,072, +97%

If I change the measures around it show's correctly, but this is not how I want it to show ( I am showing the target value as the indicator)

DAX for measures:
Indicator: 

# Sales Last Week Last Year = CALCULATE(SUM(SalesValue),DATESBETWEEN(DIM_DATE[CALENDAR_DATE],[Start of Last Week LY],[Start of This Week LY]-1))

# Sales Last Week  = CALCULATE(SUM(SalesValue),DATESBETWEEN(DIM_DATE[CALENDAR_DATE],[Start of Last Week],[Start of This Week]-1))

Hoping this will be enough info but let me know if you want me to put a pbix together.

@Anonymous , what are you doing

Divide([Target Goal] - [Indicator] ,[Target Goal])

Divide([Target Goal] - [Indicator] ,[Indicator] )

seem like you are doing for first and looking for second one 

For WOW , refer how week rank can help

new columns
Week Start date = 'Date'[Date]+-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)+1
Week End date = 'Date'[Date]+ 7-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)
OR
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Year Week],,ASC,Dense) //YYYYWW format

measures
This Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
Last Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])-1))
Last year Week= CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=(max('Date'[Week Rank]) -52)))

Thanks Amit, the way you have explained it makes more sense to me now.
