Calculating aggregate sales for 2 different periods using this formula

I want to calculate Aggregate Sales for 2 different time periods using the below formula.

Power((V(tn)/V(to)),1/(tn-to)) - 1

Where

V(tn) = Aggregate Primary Sales Quantity for last period of selection
V(to) = Aggregate Primary Sales Quantity for first period of selection

tn-to = Number of periods(For eg.if I have selected 2012 Q2 and 2013 Q3,so tn-t0 will be 5)

 

Here tn & t0 can be Year,Quarter and Month

For eg : Sales calculation for 2013 Q3 and 2012 Q2 will be

1.On selecting 2 years,

(pow(Sales of 2013 Year/sales of 2012 Year),1/(2013-2012)-1  )

where (2013-2012)=1(count of Years)

2.On selecting of 2 Quarters,

(pow(Sales of 2013-Q3/sales of 2012-Q2),1/(2013Q3-2012Q2)-1  )

where (2013Q3-2012Q2)=5(count of Quarters)

3.On selecting of 2 Months,

(pow(Sales of 2013-Jul/sales of 2012-Aug),1/(2013Jul-2012Aug)-1  )

where (2013Jul-2012Aug)=8(count of Months)

Can anyone please help me out on the above query.

 

Regards,
