Year Over Year calculation using Pivot Table

Instead of creating a formula outside of the pivot table, you can do this inside the pivot table.

Start from the image with column D empty. Drag Revenue a second time to the Values area.

Look in the Columns section of the Pivot Table Fields panel. You will see a tile called Values that appears below Date. Drag that tile so it is below the Date field. Your pivot table should look like this:

This pivot table has customers down the left side. Across the top are four columns: Sum of Revenue for 2021, 2022. Then Sum of Revenue2 for 2021 and 2022.

Double-click the Sum of Revenue2 heading in D4 to display the Value Field Settings dialog. Click on the tab for Show Values As.

Change the drop-down menu to % Difference From. Change the Base Field to Date. Change the Base Item to (Previous Item). Type a better name than Sum of Revenue2 - perhaps % Change. Click OK.

You will have a mostly blank column D (because the pivot table can't calculate a percentage change for the first year. Right-click the D and choose Hide.

Stockhistory Function

We begin with a list of stock ticker symbols and their respective company names. Our objective is to display the monthly close stock price from a user-defined date to the present. We also want to display an in-cell line chart that visualizes the monthly price changes while identifying the monthly high and low over the requested time. The STOCKHISTORY function retrieves historical data about a financial instrument and loads it as an array, which will spill if it’s the final result of a formula. This means that Excel will dynamically create the appropriately sized array range when you press ENTER . The syntax for the STOCKHISTORY function is as follows ( optional arguments are in square brackets ): =STOCKHISTORY(stock, start_date, [end_date], [interval], [headers], [property0], [property1], [property2], [property3], [property4], [property5]) stock – Enter a ticker symbol in double quotes ( g., “MSFT” ) or a reference to a cell containing the Stocks data...

Indirect Function

INDIRECT is pretty cool for grabbing a value from a cell. Can INDIRECT point to a multi-cell range and be used in a VLOOKUP or SUMIF function? You can build an INDIRECT function that points to a range. The range might be used as the lookup table in a VLOOKUP or as a range in SUMIF or COUNTIF . In Figure , the formula pulls data from the worksheets specified in row 4. The second argument in the SUMIF function looks for records that match a certain date from column A. Note: Because each worksheet might have a different number of records, I chose to have each range extend to 300. This is a number that is sufficiently larger than the number of transactions on any sheet. The formula in cell B5 is: =SUMIF(INDIRECT(B$4&"!A2:A300"), $A5, INDIRECT(B$4&"!C2:C300")) Summary: You can use INDIRECT to grab data from a multi-cell range.
