Create a measure to calculate the percentage that the total Sales value increased since one year ago

[Anonymous]

I need to create a measure to calculate the percentage that the total Sales value
increased since one year ago.
Which DAX formula should I use?

(sum(Sales[Value])
–CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date’[Date])))/CALCULATE
(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (‘Date’ [Date]))

sum(Sales[Value])-CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR
(‘Date’ [Date]))

CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (‘Date’
[Date]))/sum(Sales[Value])

I have a sales table and date table.

which is correct?

I think it will be option 1 cos the question is about percentage increase over last year = (Current Year - Last Year )/ Last Year

I've used this formula:

%Inc Sales = SUM(Sales[Value])/CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Value]),DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR))-1

Let me know if it works

Hi buddy,

i think you are on the rigth path, take a look.

Inc_Year = SUMX(Table;SUM(Table[Value])-CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Value]);SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Table[Date]))/SUM(Table[Value]))

you can also create a column that bring only the year of the date e then try to use this column as "filter" for your measure.

Any questions, ask 😉

Please can you help selecting correct one from below 3?

(sum(Sales[Value])
–CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date’[Date])))/CALCULATE
(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (‘Date’ [Date]))

sum(Sales[Value])-CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR
(‘Date’ [Date]))

CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (‘Date’
[Date]))/sum(Sales[Value])

Hi,

The second one will give the correct absolute number.  To convert it to %, try this

=IFERROR(sum(Sales[Value])/CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date’ [Date]))-1,BLANK())

Hope this helps.
