rolfvp , really not clear. But if you are looking for YOY comparison, refer my blog

https://medium.com/@amitchandak.1978/power-bi-ytd-questions-time-intelligence-1-5-e3174b39f38a

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31")) Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31")) This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31")) Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31")) Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31")) Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)) //Only year vs Year, not a level below This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year]))) Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Hi rolfvp

Not very clear as to what is need.

You can try this.

You need to have a Calendar Table.

https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/creating-a-simple-date-table-in-dax/

Sales Amount = SUMX ( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price])

Sales Amount LY = CALCULATE(Sales[Sales Amount], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

Sales Growth vs LY = DIVIDE( [Sales Amount] - [Sales LY],[Sales LY],BLANK())
