    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your desciption, I created data to reproduce your scenario.

    Table:

    You may create a calculated table and create a one-to-one relationship between two tables as follows.

    DateTable = CALENDARAUTO()

     

    Then you may create a calculated column in 'Table' as below.

    Lastyearvalue = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[CurrentYeatValue]),
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTable[Date])
    )

     

    Then you may create a table by 'Enter Date' as the screenshot.

    Table abr:

     

    Finally you can create a measure as follows and put it in the 'Values' area of the matrix visual. 

    Value = 
    var _abr = SELECTEDVALUE('Table abr'[abr])
    return
    IF(
        _abr = "currentyear",
        MAX('Table'[CurrentYeatValue]),
        IF(
            _abr = "lastyear",
            MAX('Table'[Lastyearvalue]),
            BLANK()
        )
    )

     

    Result:

     

    If I misunderstand your thought, please show me your smaple data and expected result. Do mask sensitive data before uploading. Thanks.

     

    Best Regards
