Cannot return correct MTD sales

[MC_2023]

Hi,

I'm comparing the MTD sales for the same period of two years, by using below measures:

Current MTD $ = TOTALMTD([Total Sales],DATESMTD(Sales[Invoice Date]))

SPLY MTD $ = CALCULATE([Current MTD $],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

However, I found bug when the sku was discontinued and no sales for current month, it return a wrong sales value. 

Product Number	Current MTD $	Same Priod Last Year MTD $
764414	$         205,000	$   205,000

Correct result should be:

Product Number	Current MTD $	Same Priod Last Year MTD $
764414	$         0	$   205,000

Can anyone help on this error? Thank you!

Hi @MC_2023 ,

Please try:

SPLY MTD $ =
CALCULATE (
    [Current MTD $],
    SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Product Number] )
)

Hi,

Try using your date table for your MTD calculation also in your base measure: 
Current MTD $ = TOTALMTD([Total Sales],DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

Hi, 

I amend the Current MTD $ per your suggestion, but it cannot return any figures...it's weird..

Anyway, thanks for your kind suggestion.
