Creating Percent change Measure from a Measure

[Anonymous]

 I have this table, and $/LBS is a measure that I created simply by dividing $ and LBS column. 

I want to see the following two columns in the table view next to the $/LBS column

Pecent Change (Previous Month) was calculated by =(Month-Prev Month) / Prev Month

Pecent Change (Compared to Jan) was calculated by= (Month - $Jan) / $Jan

If anyone could show me how to do this in PowerBi, I would appreciate it!

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please try the following methods.

Sample Data:

$/LBS = DIVIDE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[$]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[LBS]))

Prev Month = 
VAR PrevDate=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'[Date]),[Date]<SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])),[Date])
Var PrevMonth=CALCULATE([$/LBS],FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date]=PrevDate))
Return
PrevMonth

Pecent Change (Previous Month) = DIVIDE([$/LBS]-[Prev Month],[Prev Month])

Pecent Change (Compared to Jan) = 
Var Jan=CALCULATE([$/LBS],FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH([Date])=1))
return
DIVIDE([$/LBS]-Jan,Jan)

Is this the result you expect?

@Anonymous ,  You can use time intelligence to get it , if you have date table

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

Or have month year table with month rank

Month Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Month Start date],,ASC,Dense)

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

"Sum" also works for a column in a data table. $/LBS is a measure that you see in a table visualization. So I can't use the Sum function to do this, unfortunatley.
