Getting a Month over Month Visual

Summary
I have a months view of data and need to get a Month over Month calculation added
Content
Based on the image I need to create a calculated field taking comparing October to November. The formula would be November/October -1.
Need it for each of the pay channels listed. How can that be created in the calculated option?

Hi Craig, assuming your data is not from an OAC RPD with a time hierarchy defined in it.
That is, data is from direct simple flat source (file, db). You can achieve this calculation using an MSUM formula. Check this brief video about it : Oracle DV - How to Calculate Period Ago Without A Time Hierarchy.
however, if you are using this in combination with other dimension (your table below), you need to introduce a 'by' clause in the formula. here is another small video showing you that syntax : https://youtu.be/LkRHUlXvTbQ
Hope that helps
Philippe
