I'm trying to calculate the percent change between two given periods based on the dates selected in the date filter.
For instance, I want to calculate the % change for spend when the date filter is set to 10/21/2018 - 11/3/2018 (14 days). I would want to compare that spend to the spend that occurred between 10/7/2018 - 10/20/2018 (previous 14 days)
Thank you!

Hi @cassidy4,
Based on my assumption, I tested with below sample data. The right image shows a date dimention table created by:
calendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2018,10,1),DATE(2018,11,30) )
There is no relationship between tables. Add 'Calendar'[Date] into slicer. Then, create measures:
Sum1 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table1'[Sales] ), FILTER ( 'Table1', 'Table1'[Date] >= MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ) && 'Table1'[Date] <= MAX ( 'calendar'[Date] ) ) ) Sum2 = VAR countdays = DATEDIFF ( MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ), MAX ( 'calendar'[Date] ), DAY ) VAR startdate = MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ) - 1 - countdays VAR enddate = MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ) - 1 RETURN CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table1'[Sales] ), FILTER ( 'Table1', 'Table1'[Date] <= MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ) - 1 && 'Table1'[Date] >= MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] ) - 1 - countdays ) ) change = ([Sum1]-[Sum2])/[Sum1]
Best regards,
