Cannot return correct MTD sales

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.
