You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
To start, if you haven't already done so run the script in the above folder to generate the MAM database (not for commercial use or copying).
Create two measures:
- One giving the total value of sales for the current filter context; and
- One giving the total value of sales for the same period in the previous year (one way to do this is with the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function).
Use these to create KPIs showing how well you're doing against the previous period:
The green tick means 95% or above; the yellow exclamation mark means 90% or above.
Save this as Month by month, then close it down.
