Calculating Growth in a Matrix (adding a column)

Hi Hoping someone can help. I have some source data with thousands of records of events data including two columns which signify event segment and period. I've summarized these in a matrix and wish to add a column that shows the %age growth between the two periods.

 

I've provided an example set up of the table below (dummy data) - the ask here is to calculate the % growth between the two periods for each segment (period is just one column with two possible values: 'period 1 & period 2':

 

Segment          |         Period 1          |          Period 2            |          % Growth?

A                          |          110                   |           120

B                           |          100                  |            100

C                          |          120                   |            130

D                          |           90                    |              120

E                          |            100                 |             110

 

Thank You

Hi,

Please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Click on Enter data under Modeling tab and enter the following data:

 

create table.png

 

 

Step 2:

Create the following measure:

Growth =
VAR period1 =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Period Value]),
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Period] = "Period 1"
)
)

VAR period2 =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Period Value]),
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Period] = "Period 2"
)
)

VAR division =
CALCULATE(
DIVIDE(
period2 - period1,
period2,
0
)
)

RETURN
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Period 1",
SUMX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = "Period 1"), 'Table'[Period Value]),
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Period 2",
SUMX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Period] = "Period 2"), 'Table'[Period Value]),
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]) = "Growth",
FORMAT(division, "Percent")
)
)
)
 
Step 3:
In matrix visual, drag Category column from Category table under Columns.

You can sort the Category column by creating index column and sort Category column based on index column.

Hi Vinay,

 

If you have 36 periods, what way will you explore to show dynamic MTD and YTD vs pcp as last two colums?

 

Thank you!
