Hi All,

 

I need a little help on how to create a calculation in Tableau (sample dataset attached).  I want to take (current year sales - ((last year’s sales/250)*number of YTD fiscal days in for current year)).  I will need it to use the current YTD selling days even if there are no sales for that month.

 

Example 1:

Sales YTD 2022 = $55,000

Sales 2021 = $100,000 / 250 = $400

Days in through June = 121

$400*121 = $48,400

$55,000 - $48,400 = $6,600

 

Example 2:

Sales YTD 2022 = $0

Sales 2021 = $100,000 / 250 = $400

Days in through June = 121

$400*121 = $48,400

$0 - $48,400 = -$48,400

 

Example 3:

Sales YTD 2022 = $55,000

Sales 2021 = $0 / 250 = $0

Days in through June = 121

$0*121 = $0

$55,000 - $0 = $55,000

 

Thank you for your help!
