Calculate %-difference between two data points in different series

Hi,

I have two measures with one data point in each and I want to calculate the %-difference between these in a card, how can I do that correctly? 

The formulas for the measures are as follows:

Quantity Last Period = CALCULATE([Stock];FILTER('Dash Solid test table';'Dash Solid test table'[Date]=DATE(2020;03;20)))
Current Quantity = CALCULATE([Stock forecast]; FILTER('Dash Solid test table';'Dash Solid test table'[Date]=DATE(2020;04;10)))
 

So I would want a card saying "-25%" in this case (ie (6-8)/8=-0,25)

 

I also wonder how I can change the format of the date in the chart? It does not format as in the source table.

One if the two


Difference % = divide([Quantity Last Period] - [Current Quantity]) , [Current Quantity])
Difference % = divide([Quantity Last Period] , [Current Quantity]) -1

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Check if the reply above solved you first question. And for you second question, you can select the column then find the Format feature under Modeling pane.

So like:

Percent Difference = ([Quantity Last Period] - [Current Quantity]) / [Current Quantity]

?
