Hello all, good afternoon!
I just registered myself in this community. I am a newbie in DAX, but trying to apply as much as possible some daily financial situations I already have. "I think when you have an enviroment at your disposal, this is the best way to put in practice what you are learning and advance your abilities."
So, I am trying to create a measure (according to "Power Pivot and Power BI" book this is the best way and I am trying to avoid Column calculation approach) that will compare all investment BY [PRODUCTS] from 2015 and 2016 in % (both increase and decrease % numbers).
Table Name = 'PILOT';
Column 'PILOT'[YEAR] = 2015 & 2016 values;
Column 'PILOT'[INVESTMENT AMT] = Amounts in BRL;
Column 'PILOT'[PRODUCTS] = All products
Objective: Compare 2015 and 2016 in % to show in a Pivot Table (Power Pivot) increase and decrease scenarios;
Problem found: There are some products that does not have any investment on 2015 and does in 2016. So, the formula has to be dynamically enough to recognize this and show 100% increase and vise versa (-100%).
I do not know how to accomplish this result using DAX in calculated field (Measure). I have tried DIVIDE function, but failed.
Thank you all in advance,
