How to Create a Dynamic Period over Period Beast Mode in a Table

Eli_Rollins · January 2022

I have a table chart that I am trying to show the percent change in sales period over period. An example would be sales grew by 5% in June 2021 vs sales in May 2021. With this, I want to be able to dynamically select a date range to view different periods of time like "previous year" or "last 12 months". Any recommendations on how to handle this with a Beast Mode and present it in a table card format?

Other sales-related filters will be used on this card as well (suppliers, account numbers, etc.).

Example Data:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Eli_Rollins

I've done a writeup in the past about custom date offsets which will likely do what you're looking for. You can have a date and then have different offsets within that dataset. https://dojo.domo.com/discussion/53481/a-more-flexible-way-to-do-period-over-period-comparisons#latest

I'll also be presenting on this in two days at the Virtual User Group if you want more of a walk through.
