Thank U,

Hi Cindy

I'm assuming that's a typo and you want a variance between 2012 and 2011. To do this effectively, you should have separate measures for each of these years and then simply subtract one from the other. I'm assuming that you're pivoting on year. Change your measures to include a filter based on year so that you have two separate measures.

This post has a dynamic variance calculation between current year and prior year.

Good luck
