Hi @Anonymous,

 

My understanding is that you want sum of saldo when for dates after the fiscal year 2018. Try:

 

CALCULATE(SUM('2 (Auditfile)'[saldo]),FILTER('2 (Auditfile)','2 (Auditfile)'[fiscalYear])>2018))

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Here I suggest you to create an unrelated Fiscal Year Table for slicer and create a measure to achieve your goal.

My Sample:

Fiscal Year Table:

Fiscal Year = VALUES(Auditfile[fiscalYear])

Measure:

Measure = 
VAR _SELECTYEAR = VALUES('Fiscal Year'[fiscalYear])
VAR _PREVIOUSYEAR = SUMMARIZE( ADDCOLUMNS(_SELECTYEAR,"PY",[fiscalYear] - 1),[PY])
RETURN 
CALCULATE(SUM(Auditfile[saldo]),FILTER(Auditfile,Auditfile[fiscalYear] IN _PREVIOUSYEAR))

Result is as below.

i need something like this but this doesnt work:
if(selectedvalue(auditfile[fiscalyear])>=2019, selectvalue(auditfile[fiscalyear] -1),
calculate(sum(auditfile[saldo])

so if i select a year in  a slicer i want the value of the previous year. the previous year functie does not work for me the way i have the data.
