Growth versus previous year

Dear QV community,

I'm trying to do the below graph representing the growth of the month versus the same month last year.

I have been trying the function above but it is calculating the growth versus previous month.

Any help

I attached my samples database for reference

May be this:

Script:

Table:

LOAD Date,

  MonthName(Date) as MonthYear,

    Account,

    Salesman,

    Company,

    Brand,

    Pack,

    Market,

    Box,

    Pack1,

    EUR

FROM

[test 2 (2).xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

LinkTable:

LOAD Distinct

  MonthYear as LinkMonthYear,

  MonthYear,

  'CY' as Flag

Resident Table;

Concatenate (LinkTable)

LOAD Distinct

  MonthYear as LinkMonthYear,

  MonthName(AddYears(MonthYear, -1)) as MonthYear,

  'PY' as Flag

Resident Table;

Line Chart

Dimension: LinkMonthYear and Company

Expression: =Sum({<Flag = {'CY'}>}EUR)/Sum({<Flag = {'PY'}>}EUR) - 1

UPDATE: I had to exclude Company 3 from the selections because it was skewing the results due to one very high percentage.
