    Using data for prior year change but hiding from pivotchart

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a last 12 month view in a pivot chart that shows actual values, and change from prior year. Currently I am using the show field as difference from. The calculation works well but currently requires that the previous years actuals remain unfiltered and therefore show in the chart.

    If I use the timeline to only show the last 12 months, the calc fails to find the previous year value - this seems like a major limitation as the first part of the chart will always be missing the change values but maybe I am using it wrong.

    Screenshot 2019-10-14 at 09.38.24.png

    Image attached shows the chart and the calc. Essentially want to the chart to not show previous year but keep the change values

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Are you really still using Excel 2003? If not, can you please update your profile? There may be different solutions available, depending on the Excel version you're using.

    Might be easier to help if you could upload the workbook, including source data for pivot table, from which the screenshot is taken.
    To upload a sample workbook click on the GO ADVANCED button below the Quick Reply window and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    Remember to desensitize the data if necessary.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
