Help with report that shows Year and Last Year

Question

Hello!
I want to view in a report some KPIs (Rows) and Years(Columns) but I want a specific report with a prompt, I mind, at top of my dashboard there is a Year prompt that it contains (2001, 2002, 2003….,2010) and I want to see in a report when I chose in prompt 2008 for example that my report shows me 2008 Year and Last Year (2007) and another column that indicate Diference between these years. Is that possible? Can u explain me the process to get it?
Thank you very much!

If you get access, create a duplicate of the Measure you wish to use in the Business Model.
Once you have a duplicate rename to say $ Revenue Year Ago and then from the properties of the Measure, General click on Use existing logical columns as the source.
Then select function>Time Series> Ago
Ago has 3 inputs, select the column you want to base the measure on, the TIME SERIES Dimensions for year, and then 1 for 1 year ago.
So your formula will look something like:
Ago("Human Resources"."Fact - Absence"."# Days" , "Human Resources"."Time"."Year" , 1)
Save this and copy into your Presentation layer available for use.
Hope this helps
