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.

CAGR stands for C ompound A nnual G rowth R ate. It describes the rate at which an investment would have grown over several years if it had grown at the same rate every year on a compounding, rather than simple, basis. The CAGR metric is calculated using the following formula: If we were to fit this entire formula into a single measure it may get messy and confusing for other users, so let’s step it out. We will need to create several measures to calculate the individual pieces the CAGR formula. Of course, this is not the only way to calculate CAGR in Power Pivot, but this is the way we’ve decided to go about it. So, let’s break it down, we will need the following measures to calculate CAGR: A measure to retrieve the First Year in the data set A measure to retrieve the Last Year in the data set A measure to calculate the Number of Years between the First and Last Years in the data set A measure to aggregate the total sales in the data set...

What if Analysis

Sometimes, you want to see many different results from various combinations of inputs. Provided that you have only two input cells to change, the Data Table feature will do a sensitivity analysis. Using the loan payment example, say that you want to calculate the price for a variety of principal balances and for a variety of terms. Make sure that the formula you want to model is in the top-left corner of a range. Put various values for one variable down the left column and various values for another variable across the top. From the Data tab, select What-If Analysis, Data Table.... You have values along the top row of the input table. You want Excel to plug those values into a certain input cell. Specify that input cell for Row Input Cell. You have values along the left column. You want those plugged into another input cell. Specify that cell for the Column Input Cell. When you click OK, Excel repeats the formula in the top-left column for all combinations of the top row and left colum...
