Beast Mode for Calculating YoY % Variance

user05166

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create a grouped bar chart (retailers x-axis, sales y-axis, year series) and I'd like to add a line for variance between this year and last. The problem is I'm not sure how to create a Beast Mode to calculate a column for % difference YoY. Essentially, I want:

 

(`Values` where `Year`='2018')-(`Values` where `year`='2017'))/(`Values` where `year`='2017')

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here's a post I had done explaining how we handle this:

Once you've got that, the basic variance calculation is (Current Year / Previous Year) - 1

 

Let me know if you have any questions,
