Percent change in expense quarter to quarter

I am trying to figure out how to calculate the percent change in expense quarter to quarter for a data set similar to the one below

 

FirmQuarterExpense
Firm A2017 Q3100
Firm A2017 Q4200
Firm A2018 Q1300
Firm B2017 Q350
Firm B2017 Q2150
Firm B2018 Q1200

 

Basically now that Q1 is over, I would want to know the percent change by firm from Q4 to Q1. I have wracked my brain and haven't come up with any good solutions. I have a calendar table set up, but am having a hard time dynamically calling on the previous 2 quarters.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

It was designed to make these kinds of calculations easier.
