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.

Sum a cell through several Worksheets

You have 12 identical worksheets, one for each month. You would like to summarize each worksheet. Is there a better way than using =Jan ! B4 + Feb! B4+Mar! B4+Apr! B4…? Solution: You can use a 3-D formula such as =SUM(Jan:Dec!B4) , as shown in Figure 41 . Figure 41. A 3-D formula adds up all instances of B4 on the 12 sheets from Jan through Dec. Late-breaking Tip : To add up cell B4 on all the worksheets with Sales in the sheet name, type =SUM(‘*Sales’!B4) and press Enter. If the first or last worksheet contains a space in the name, you have to use apostrophes around the pair of worksheet names: =SUM(‘Jan 2009: Dec 2009’!B4) . You can easily copy this formula to other cells on the summary worksheet. Gotcha: Do not drag the summary worksheet to appear after the Jan worksheet, or you will set up a circular reference. Additional Details: It is possible to set up a named range that refers to a 3-D range. Here is an interesting way to set...

CAGR Dax Measure

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...
