    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    I'm not really sure if the approach makes sense as DATEADD just changes the dates in the column. I think what you are looking for is the function DATESINPERIOD. Try the following approach:

    R12 IND =
VAR SelectedMaxDate = MAX( 'Date Lookup'[Date] )
VAR MinDate =
    CALCULATE(
        MIN( 'Date Lookup'[Date] ),
        DATESINPERIOD(
            'Date Lookup'[Date],
            SelectedMaxDate,
            -1,
            YEAR
        )
    )
RETURN
    MinDate

      

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
