How to create a percentage change measure in Matrix table

Hi Power BI community 🙂 

 

I have a matrix table with 3 columns

  1. Product
  2. (Total Sales £) YOA 2020
  3. (Total Sales £) YOA 2021 

 

What I would like to do is add a third column with % varaince between column 2 & 3

 

Would someone mind explaining have a I can do this why an expression?

HI @JayKarim ,

 

You can try below code:-

variance =
VAR result =
    DIVIDE (
        ( [Total Sales £) YOA 2021] - [(Total Sales £) YOA 2020] ),
        [(Total Sales £) YOA 2020]
    )
RETURN
    FORMAT ( result, "PERCENTAGE" )

Note- I am considering you have created a measure for the calculation of (Total Sales £) YOA 2020,(Total Sales £) YOA 2021 

 

Thanks,
