Calculating a final value from other selected values that exist in the same column

muahmmad_zaidi

I have two columns—one column has revenue, the other column states which quarter the revenue was collected in.

Is there a way that allows a user to select a quarter to calculate the difference in revenue between the selected quarter and another selected quarter.

So, I am basically looking for a solution that would enable the end user to select any two quarters that would then cause domo to calculate the difference in revenue between the selected quarters.

Thanks in advance and let me know if Domo doesn't support a calculation of this sort.

You'd probably have to do this in a dataflow!

Not sure if or how they can be merged 🤔

I would attempt this by leveraging variables.

• Two variables that would allow the user to select which quarters to compare. You may need to actually write these out in a list: '2022 Q1', '2022 Q2', '2022 Q3'…

Then use a calculated field:

SUM(SUM(CASE 
    WHEN CONCAT(YEAR(`Date`),' Q',QUARTER(`Date`)) = `SecondVariableQuarter` 
    THEN (`Revenue`) ELSE 0 END))
    FIXED ()
-
SUM(SUM(CASE 
    WHEN CONCAT(YEAR(`Date`),' Q',QUARTER(`Date`)) = `FirstVariableQuarter` 
    THEN (`Revenue`) ELSE 0 END))
    FIXED ()
