Steps

  1. Use the 'Date' table from the previous mission (marked as date table and related to orders).
  2. Create Sales PY with CALCULATE and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR.
  3. Create Sales YoY % = DIVIDE([Total Net Sales] - [Sales PY], [Sales PY]).
  4. Put 'Date'[Year] in a table with [Total Net Sales], [Sales PY] and [Sales YoY %].
  5. Read the 2025 row (2024 shows blank because there is no 2023 data).

Check your answer

What is the YoY net sales growth % of 2025 vs 2024?

Show solution

2025 net sales were $127,574.62 and 2024 were $120,068.98, so growth = (127,574.62 − 120,068.98) / 120,068.98 = 6.25%.

Sales PY =
CALCULATE ( [Total Net Sales], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) )

Sales YoY % =
DIVIDE ( [Total Net Sales] - [Sales PY], [Sales PY] )

Answer: 6.25 %
