Summarize Same Day not date last year

Jeanneke — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 12:38:08 GMT

Hi,

I have a DAX measure for calculating the same day last year (not the same date).

This measure look like this :

Quantity same day LY = calculate(sum('Table'[Quantity]),sameperiodlastyear(DATEADD(DateTable[Date],-1,DAY)))

Now I want to create a new measure for summarizing this measure, but I do not get it done.

Is there someone who can help me in this?

Thanks in advance.

Jeanneke , same day 364 days behind. But do with a date calendar

same day Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,Day))

refer Power BI — Day Intelligence

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 :

Thanks for your reply.
This isindeed a measure for summarizing.
But I was not clear in my subject. I didn't mean summerize, but cumulatize. Sorry for this.

Hi Amitchandak,

This is the table I am working on :

It is about the column in the red circle.
Here I want the cumulative values based on column "2019".

Column "2019" is calculated :

Covid Quantity Sum Same day LY = calculate(sum('CombinedFacts'[Sum of CalculatedQuantity]),sameperiodlastyear(DATEADD(DateTable[Date],+2,DAY)))
