HI,
Imagine I want to create a formula that gives me the percentage change between to specific dates, and I want to do it within the powerpivot contexto (with DAX functions).
For examplejust for the sake of the example, these numbers are false)
A table with all the prices of Apple's stock during the year of 2008 and 2009.
APPL stock price was of $73.21 on August 3rd 2008 and a bit down in the same table it is quoting at $45.6 on November 15th 2009.
2 questions:
1)How to create a formula that gives me the percentage change between that specific period?
2) Because i want to analyze several "specific periods" over several years, I wanted to give a specific name to each of these periods. For example, I would like to cal the above mentioned period as "Financial Crisis 2008", so I can later use it as a filter used in a Pivot table. How to create these names for specific periods?
Thank you
