Video Description
Many organizations report against a fiscal calendar which doesn't align with the standard calendar year. If your organization's fiscal year starts in October or July, you know what I'm talking about.
We've created a handful of resources documenting how to use calculations to monitor year to date performance compared to prior year to date performance, but we've never addressed how to do this if you're operating on fiscal years.
**Disclaimer: this approach will work best if your organization's fiscal years starts on the first day of a month. If it varies, this approach might not be right for you.**
Inspired by my friends at the Federal Aviation Administration in a recent training, I created this video to demonstrate how to use calculations in Tableau to compare fiscal year to date values to prior fiscal year to date values.
