Hi,
You could create a year ago measure to achieve this, or, if you are set on your pivot table course then you can make calculations by referencing the columns in a newly created calculated column; -
“($1 - $2) / $2”
Hope this helps?
Robert.

My example syntax assumes that your years are laid out in columns and the year 2016 is in column 1 and 2015 in column 2.
On pivot table calculations you would do it as follows; -
To create a calculated item for a dimension column (in your case I am guessing something like Time.Year)
Click on the “More options” button for the dimension column
Choose “New Calculated Item”
Populate with the formula as previously supplied.
Got it?
