Hi Douglas, you will need to create a separate metric for this and then you will need to apply formatting so the numbers show in red or green as needed: https://help.gooddata.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=86787973

I'm not able to bring the annual comparison with this metric… could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?The colors I managed to configure, thank you very much!

Hi Douglas, you need to specify a function for the first part of the metric. In this case, it should be something like: 

 

SELECT COUNT (Quantidade - Quantidade, Quantidade - Quantidade) for Previous (year(Datamovimento))

 

This of course is all dependant on your LDM and you may need to use a connection point of the data set to interact with other objects in the report. There is a great free course on our University page where you can learn more about MAQL functions:
