See below pivot table format (the 4th column is what I am trying to accomplish). I want to calculate year over year change on percents. I do not want a YOY percentage change I want to know the percentage points YOY difference. I also want this to be a part of the pivot (ie a calculated field, not a manual helper column or anything like that because I have pivot charts working off of it). My problem: I can't use a calculated field because I am not comparing two 'fields' I am comparing a single field but 2017 vs 2018. I also can't use the 'show values as difference from' because this shows the number/percent difference (ie in January 50.3% - 50.1% = .002), since I want percentage points the result should be .2 (ie 50.3% - 50.1 * 100). Is there any way to accomplish this? As always, your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
