Dynamic period over period given drill down

[airwolf39]

Hi all,

I have a YoY% and MoM% measures that works great on their own. But if i use the YoY% measure and the visual is drilled down to the month, the measure looks at the prior year, instead of the prior month. How do i create a measure that looks at the visual drill down level to determine whether to use the YoY% measure or MoM% measure? Or is there a way to create a measure that looks at period over period based on the drilldown?

Thanks.

Hi, I know this a a very old post, but any chance you found a solution to this? I am facing the same issue. 

Thank you!

Nope, I ended up giving up on it.

I think I found a solution! Unfortunately I can't remember where I got it from but it wasn't from me (this solution worked for me at least, hope it works for you as well if you still need/want it):

% Change  =

VAR CurrentPeriod = [Amount ($)]

VAR PriorPeriod =

SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

    ISINSCOPE('Calendar'[Date].[Month]), CALCULATE([Amount ($)], DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH)),

    ISINSCOPE('Calendar'[Date].[Year]), CALCULATE([Amount ($)], DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, YEAR))

)

RETURN

IF(CurrentPeriod = BLANK(), BLANK(), DIVIDE(

    CurrentPeriod - PriorPeriod,

    PriorPeriod

)

)

very cool. ill give it a shot this week.

Of course you will need to add the quarters if you are using quarters in your period heirarchy; I do not use quarters nor days so I did not include those in my SWITCH() function.

Any insight on how to create a dynamic period over period change when folks are drilling down into a visual?

Hi , @airwolf39 

Not very clear, can you  explain it with specific examples ?
