Difference in Sales from Quarter to Quarter


Difference in Sales from previous month


Sum of sales for each month divided by sales for that entire year

Hiearchy

Year

Month

Sum([Sales]) / Sum([Sales]) OVER (Parent([Axis.X]))

Sales for each month as a ratio of the sales for the corresponding year


Formatting the value axis to show percentage


Sales for each month as a % of the sales for the corresponding year


Sales for each month as a % of entire timeframe on the X axis (each month’s sales divided by All)

Sum([Sales]) / Sum([Sales]) OVER (All([Axis.X]))


Sales for each Sub-Category as a ratio of sales of all Sub-Categories


Formatting it as %


Sales for each Sub-Category as a % of sales of all Sub-Categories


Money made so far: Running total of profit

Sum([Profit]) OVER (AllPrevious([Axis.X]))


Moving Average: For a 3 month window


Pick Moving Average from the aggregation drop down on the measure axis


By default it shows 10 month moving average. Modify the expression to make the window 3 months


Sum([Sales])THEN Avg([Value]) OVER (LastPeriods(3,[Axis.X]))THEN If(Count() OVER (LastPeriods(3,[Axis.X]))=3,[Value],null)

Here’s the final expression for moving average
