Hi @anjanikumar 

The solution is usually to create two variables that capture last year's and current year's sales, and then subtract them.

we need information below to work on it further, could you provide it?

 (1) a sample file, you can replace raw data with bogus data to protect your privacy.

     or provide some sample data that fully covers your issue/question.

(2) give your expected result based on the sample you provide.

Kindly note: Please ensure the data in sample is concise and representative.

Thanks.

@anjanikumar , You need use date table to make sure time intelligence works

 

example

 

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('ga_goal_aggr_vw_1'[visits_count]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('ga_goal_aggr_vw_1'[visits_count]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
