in Beast Mode

I am trying to create a beast mode that will show me the change from last year's sales to this year's sales. I need it for a table. If anyone has any solutions, that would be amazing.

    Hello @MarcusJ223

    I'd suggest taking a look at this KB Article:

    https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360043430133?language=en_US

    Particularly the Calculating Variance Variance CY-PY and Variance % ((CY - PY)/PY) as these sound like what you're looking to accomplish.

    From the article:

    Calculating Variance — Variance CY-PY

    Use the following code to create a calculation for the variance Current Year - Past Year:

    (
    SUM(CASE WHEN YEAR(`MyDateColumn`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) THEN `Amount` ELSE 0 END)
    - SUM(CASE WHEN YEAR(`MyDateColumn`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1 THEN `Amount` ELSE 0 END)
    )

    Variance % ((CY - PY)/PY)

    Use the following code to create a calculation for the variance % ((Current Year - Past Year) / Past Year):

    (
    (SUM(CASE WHEN YEAR(`MyDateColumn`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) THEN `Amount` ELSE 0 END)
    - SUM(CASE WHEN YEAR(`MyDateColumn`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1 THEN `Amount` ELSE 0 END)
    )
    / NULLIF(SUM(CASE WHEN YEAR(`MyDateColumn`) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1 THEN `Amount` ELSE 0 END), 0)
    )
