Reporting different periods across years with previous period

Hi,

we are using Excel as frontend for SSAS. The database contains a cube with a few dimension (including a common time dimension) and several measures. We want to analyze measures (sliced by different dimensions) and filter the time across years. To do this, we select the time dimension as filter and choose some months. For example November 2018 to February 2019.

The result looks like:

Customer A       100
-  Product X         30
-  Product Y         70
Customer B       200
-  Product X         60
-  Product Z       140

We now want add a new column and in order to analyze the measure based on the previous period. In this example from November 2017 to February 2018.

The result should look like:

                           Period 1      Period 2
Customer A        100             110
-  Product X          30               40    
-  Product Y          70               70
Customer B        200             160
-  Product X          30                 0
-  Product Z        170             160

At the moment, we use two pivot tables with different filters and merge them manually. However, that is very time-consuming because we have many different tables and we have to report monthly.

Is it possible to create such an report in Excel?

Thanks in advance.

Marc
