Qlik Sense Query : Retaining value in an measure

We are having a requirement were we need to retain a particular value in a measure for calculating rest of the fields, and we are unable to achieve that.

Scenario :

We have a report were we need to calculate a field “growth”. As you can see it is the difference between (month) 2016 and December 2015

Eg: Mar 2016- dec 2015 = 4835-4824 = 11

Month

For this we need to retain the total count of Dec 2015 in an attribute , which we are not able to do. Can you please provide us with the syntax for this.

Try using the inter-record functions like after() and first(): after(count(X))-first(count(X))
