Get data from Last December when select data from slicer

Hey,

 

I have a model with two tables. A fact table and a date table. They are linked trhough date.

I need to show on a matrix the values per currency for last December when i select the actual year in a slicer.

 

I found this measure:

LastDecember =
var _selectedYear =SELECTEDVALUE(Date_Table[Year])-1
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Fact_Table'[Values]),FILTER(ALL('Fact_Table'),YEAR('Fact_Table'[Date])=_selectedYear && MONTH('Fact_Table'[Date])=12)).
 
When i choose 2021 it gives the total amount of every currency in December 2020 for each line in the matrix instead of the value for that currency alone. Its looks like the data its not organized by the category that i put on the field "Lines" in the matrix.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Rafael Sales

@Anonymous , in such case better to use a date table and use month, year etc from date table only

 

if your Date_Table is joined with table then try like

LastDecember =
var _selectedYear =SELECTEDVALUE(Date_Table[Year])-1
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Fact_Table'[Values]),FILTER(ALL('Date_Table'),YEAR('Date_Table'[Date])=_selectedYear && MONTH('Date_Table'[Date])=12))

 

 

if not joined then remove all from table and try

 

LastDecember =
var _selectedYear =SELECTEDVALUE(Date_Table[Year])-1
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Fact_Table'[Values]),FILTER(('Fact_Table'),YEAR('Fact_Table'[Date])=_selectedYear && MONTH('Fact_Table'[Date])=12)).
