Dinamically calculate % variation in function of selected granularity.

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

how can I calculate a % variation from previous period that is dynamic in function of the selected date granularity?

Many Thanks,
Roberto

Hi, your questions is quite ambigous. If you want to work with time intelligence, the first thing you need to know is that you need a Date Table containing one row for each day. Here you can find scripts to build one: https://blog.ladataweb.com.ar/post/185012464051/data-modeling-como-hago-una-tabla-fecha

After you relate the data from that table to the date on your table you can build this calculation like this:

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    Aggregation ( Table[Column] ) 
    , DATEADD ( DateTable[DateColumn] , -N , Period)
)

Where period is year, month or day; -N is the number to go back in period; and "Aggregation" is sum, average, count, etc.

Hope this helps,
