    Billed Hours Last Year MTD =

Hi FarhanAhmed,

The measure did solve my problem to some extent but not completely. If you refere the screenshot below , you can see that though the measure restricts it to maxdate but the total for the previous year still shows the total for the entire month (721961) and not the current date for last year (426089). Screenshot below for reference.

I think the solution suggest by d_gosbell  will work and you may want to do some tweaking by adding HASONEVALUE in the code to not return values for future dates.

 

You may give it a try as well.

 

Billed Hours Last Year MTD = 
var lastNonEmtpyDate = LASTNONBLANK(ALL(ALL(Calendar[Date]),[Bill Hours])
return 
IF(HASONEVALUE(ALL(Calendar[Date]),

CALCULATE ( [Bill Hours], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DATESMTD( ALL(Calendar[Date])),FILTER(ALL( ALL(Calendar[Date]), ALL(Calendar[Date]<=MAX( Query1[Date]))
)
,
CALCULATE( [Bill Hours], DATEADD( FILTER(DATESMTD(ALL(Calendar[Date]),ALL(Calendar[Date] <= lastNonEmtpyDate ), -1, YEAR )))

      Sorry can't open pbix right now

       

      But There seems to be 2 ALL in LASTNONBLANK with Calendar date which is causing this error

       

      Also make sure that brackets are closed properly.

        Can you email your mail id to send the Pbix?
