How to dynamically calculate the cost difference between two dates per item?

[powerjey]

Hi everyone,

Looking for some help to calculate the cost increase/decrease between two date points per product. I would like to display any increases/decreases per item. Each item in the list are part of a BOM for an overall product. An example scenaro is needing to show any cost differences between 2022-03-01 & 2022-04-01 which would show changes in A ($0.50) and C ($0.20).

I'm guessing I would need to utilize the MAX/MIN functions in a measure, but having trouble creating a measure that compares each item. There are too many date points to due the calculation per date via a new column and all the data is unpivoted. 

• 2 date values are selected via the standard PBI slicer visual
• The underlying data format in PBI is displayed below:  

Part#	Date	Price
A	2022-01-01	$                                          1.25
A	2022-02-01	$                                          1.25
A	2022-03-01	$                                          1.25
A	2022-04-01	$                                          1.75
A	2022-05-01	$                                          1.75
B	2022-01-01	$                                          3.50
B	2022-02-01	$                                          3.50
B	2022-03-01	$                                          3.50
B	2022-04-01	$                                          3.50
B	2022-05-01	$                                          3.50
C	2022-01-01	$                                          2.00
C	2022-02-01	$                                          2.00
C	2022-03-01	$                                          2.00
C	2022-04-01	$                                          2.20
C	2022-05-01	$                                          2.20

Hi,

You may download my PBI file from here.

I hope this helps.

Hi  @powerjey ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Measure =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
var _max=MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
return
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=_max&&'Table'[Part#]=MAX('Table'[Part#])),[Price])
-
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=_min&&'Table'[Part#]=MAX('Table'[Part#])),[Price])

2. Result:

Thanks so much! Works perfectly. 

I've learned alot from this post.

In my case I have used your guidance to fix my issue.. Thanks a lot

% new perc =

var w_previous = MINX(ALLSELECTED('DP Fcast (2)'),[Week_final])

var w_current = MAXX(ALLSELECTED('DP Fcast (2)'),[Week_final])

var diff1 = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('DP Fcast (2)'),'DP Fcast (2)'[Week_final]= w_current&&'DP Fcast (2)'[Location]=MAX('DP Fcast (2)'[Location])),[Fcast Volume(in EA) by Location])

var diff2 = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('DP Fcast (2)'),'DP Fcast (2)'[Week_final]= w_previous&&'DP Fcast (2)'[Location]=MAX('DP Fcast (2)'[Location])),[Fcast Volume(in EA) by Location])

var diff = diff1 - diff2

var total = (diff1 + diff2) / 2

var diff_perc = diff / total

var result = diff_perc

return result

Any help on this one?
