We maybe can use the Multi-Row tool here.

Hi @Mahabirpanigrahi 

 

The attached workflow would give you the previous year's value. 

 

Step1: Sort by Market, Product, SKU, and Period

Step 2: Use Multi-Row Formula Tool to read the Previous year value for the same combination ( mentioned in Group By Clause) 

Step 3: Same as Step 2 but for another measure.

HI @Tyro_abc  & @Qiu  - Appreciate your help! 

 

It worked on the file that was shared, but when I add more months to the file. both the model doesn't work?

 

Can you please check and advise?

That solution was based on the data you provided. If you have more than one row for a particular Market, Product, SKU, Year combination, you can simply add them and then use the multi-row tool. Accordingly, we need to adjust the formula

Previously It is only considering the Year, ignoring the Month.
now I thin you are saying that the same month of last year.

Hi @Tyro_abc 

 

Seems there is confusion. I wanted to PY data by each month. 

 

Attached is the image of what I expect to be the outcome. 


Request to have a look. 

 

Thanks
