mark77 , You need to use all

 

TEST_TY =
VAR __YEARSELECTION = CALCULATE(MAX('Date'[Year])-1)
VAR __BASEFORMULA = CALCULATE([Product SO],FILTER(all('Date'),'Date'[Year]=__YEARSELECTION))
RETURN
__BASEFORMULA

Hi amitchandak ,

 

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately this does not yield the required result. I had tested with all myself, but that will generate a grand total for me.

As you can see with the (modified) data here, the calculation falls apart in a table.

And I really do want to use a great many tables in many variants 😉

Do you know how I'd be able to resolve this ?

 

The Formula does respond correctly to filters though. For example a subcompany was selected here.
