Show % Change in power BI graph

[karlosdsouza]

Is there a way to get the % change in the way it is being calculated above in power BI ?

Got to know that Tableau has this option..

I use this chart when i want to show % change. Like compare current year and past year or another two dimension. You can compare just two dimension at the same time with this chart.

Actually thats not exactly what you are looking for but maybe work

you can get this on marketplace with search as "bar chart with relative variance"

@karlosdsouza,

Yes, you can also achieve this in power bi. You can refer to steps below.

1. Create two slicer visuals based on Diversity and Year column.

2. Create a cluster column chart and drag Type column and Diversity column to the axis field, Year column to the legend field and Value column to the value field.

3. Create a measure using DAX below and drag the measure to card visual field.

Change_Percentage = 
VAR Bottom_Value = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Value]), FILTER(ALL(Table1), Table1[Diversity] = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Diversity]) && Table1[Year] = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Year]) && Table1[Type] = "Bottom"))
VAR Top_Value = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Value]), FILTER(ALL(Table1), Table1[Diversity] = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Diversity]) && Table1[Year] = SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[Year]) && Table1[Type] = "Top"))
RETURN
(Top_Value - Bottom_Value) / Bottom_Value

Finally, you will achieve a report like pattern below:

Thanks v-yuta-msft. I was looking for a solution to put this measure placed along with the bar charts as shown in below screenshot from https://www.excelcampus.com/charts/column-chart-percentage-change/comment-page-1/. This is a workaround in Excel.

@karlosdsouza,

You can add the measure to the tooltip of the bar chart.

I don't get the question
do you want to know if it's possible to visualize as in the screenshot, or to calculate the change? if the latter, can you share the sample data?
