    Hi rahulmathur7

     

    You can do it two ways:

    First I will add a calculated column for the Previous Fiscal Year which you can then use for the calculated measure

    The second option is to get the current Fiscal Year F17 and parse the year number out and subtract or add accordingly.

    example

    Calculated measure =

    var _CurrentFiscalYear = max(calendar[Fiscal  Year])

    var _PreviousFiscalYear = "FY" & (right(_CurrentFiscalYear,2)-1)

    return calculate(sum(dax expression), Calendar[Fiscal Year] = _PreviousFiscalYear )

     

    Please let me know if this help
