    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on the data you provide, you can try the following methods.

    Current value = SUM(Data[Value])
    Previous value = 
Var PrevDate=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Data'[Date],Data[Year]),'Data'[Date]<SELECTEDVALUE('Data'[Date])&&[Year]=SELECTEDVALUE(Data[Year])),'Data'[Date])
Var Prevalue=CALCULATE([Current value],FILTER(ALL(Data),[Date]=PrevDate))
Return
Prevalue
    Outcome = IF([Previous value]<>BLANK(), [Current value]-[Previous value])

    The result of the calculation is different from the result you expect. Consider if there is a problem with your desired result calculation?

     

    Let me give you an example.

    But in your results.

    Please check if there is a problem with your result calculation in Excel, thank you.

Hi, Anonymous 

 

Can you provide sample data for testing? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures.
