SAC Calculate after aggregation based on datasphere

Dear Expert,

   I am trying to calculate the difference of GP% between current year and last year. But the formula behave kind of weird. Here is our sample data:

We have calculated the GP% for 2024/08 and 2024/07 in the Analytic Model of Datasphere and it worked just fine(Green). But when it come to SAC story to calculate difference of 2 years, instead of simply minus one from the other, it seem to firstly calculate the difference of each SALES/COST/GP(Orange) and then calculate GP/SALES(Red) which is wrong. What we need is the calculation after aggregation which is just simply 0.42 - 0.37. 

Any suggestion?

We are using live connection from SAC to Datasphere, I've tried to create calculated measures both in the view and analytic model but neither of them worked.

In SAC, with a live connection to Datasphere, some calculations might behave differently because SAC delegates most of the calculations to the source (Datasphere in this case), and it may not behave as expected in aggregation contexts.

Try this, Go to your story, select the measure that holds GP%, and create a new calculated measure. In the formula editor, ensure that you're working with aggregated measures. The formula for GP% should be something like: (sum(GP) / sum(SALES))

Then, you can create a new calculated measure to compute the difference between two years:
[GP% for Current Year] - [GP% for Last Year]

If SAC continues calculating GP% incorrectly despite the changes in the story, you might want to pre-calculate the GP% at the aggregated level in the SAP Datasphere model.
In Datasphere, create a calculated column for GP% that aggregates Sales and Costs before calculating the GP%.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried to create a new formula in SAC but no luck. The GP% is already pre-calculate in the Analytic Model of Datasphere. I also tried to pre-calculate GP% in the prior level(View) but it turns out even worse, it seem to calculate BEFORE AGGREGATION in the view
