In the previous chapter, you have learnt how to create base Headcount measures – i.e. Actual Total Headcount, Budget Total Headcount, and Forecast Total Headcount.

In this chapter, you will learn how to create Year-Over-Year Headcount measures and how you can analyze the data with these measures.

Creating Year-over-Year Actual Ending Headcount Measure

You can create Year-over-Year Actual Ending Headcount Measure as follows −

YoY Actual Ending Headcount:=[Actual Ending Head Count]-[Prior Year Actual Ending Headcount]

Creating Year-over-Year Actual Average Headcount Measure

You can create Year-over-Year Actual Average Headcount Measure as follows −

Analyzing Data with Year-over-Year Actual Headcount Measures

Create a Power PivotTable as follows −

• Add the fields Fiscal Quarter and Month from the Date table to Rows.

• Add the measures – Actual Ending Head Count, Prior Year Actual Ending Head Count, YoY Actual Ending Head Count to Values.

• Insert a Slicer on the field Fiscal Year.

• Select FY2016 in the Slicer.

Create another Power PivotTable on the same worksheet as follows −

• Add the fields Fiscal Quarter and Month from the Date table to Rows.

• Add the measures – Actual Average Head Count, Prior Year Actual Average Head Count, YoY Actual Average Head Count to Values.

Connect the Slicer to this PivotTable as follows −

• Click the Slicer.
• Click the Options tab under Slicer Tools on the Ribbon.
• Click Report Connections.

Report Connections dialog box appears.

• Select the above two PivotTables.
• Click OK.
