Date and Season Dax help

Hello All,

I am very new to Power bi.

I have a Date and Season and Fact Table.

They are connected with 1-many reations.

In seasons table I have 2 seasons(F and S)
The season F is from previous year March to November (Season F22  =  March 2021- Nov 2021 )

The season S is from previous year December to Feb (Season F22  =  December 2021- Feb 2021 )


My ask is , If user selects a date then it shoud show the current year(whate ever is the selected date) and previous year dates in a  bar chart to compare data. Dates are not sequential we need to compare to the closest dates

This is to compare data by dates with season.

Hi @Kate_newmember ,

I can't download your pbix file. 

But you can have a try.

Disabling relationships between date tables and other tables. Then create a measure.

measure =
VAR _selectedvalue =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( date[date] )
VAR _1yearago =
    EDATE ( _selectedvalue, -12 )
VAR _value =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( table[value] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = _1yearago )
    )
VAR _datediff =
    DATEDIFF ( _1yearago, MAX ( date[date] ), DAY )
VAR _minx =
    MINX ( ALL ( date ), _datediff )
VAR _minxvalue =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( table[value] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = _minx )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( _value = blank, _minxvalue, _value )
