Help Needed - Troubleshooting Blank Column Values

Hi Everyone,   I am using this Function:   Prv_Qtr_Assets = CALCULATE(sum ('Income Statement $'[Average Assets]), DATEADD('Income$MasterDate'[Date].[Date],-1,QUARTER))   My goal was to create ...

Thank you again for sharing the PIBX file. It was useful. I tried to open it and play with it to see what I get for Prv qtr and current qtr in the matrix view. Following is the outcome I got. 

 

Above is what I am getting when putting them in to matrix. This seems still odd as the same number is displayed for both dates. Prv and Current Qtr.

 

Following was the setting that I used for the above matrix. 

 

Please let me know that I am making some fundamental error, or why am I not getting different results.

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

    Thank you again. Here is a quick visual (done in PAINT) on what I am trying to get for an outcome. Not sure how to do it in Power BI.

     

     

    Two Columns.

    One for Current Year Asset Value and One for Previous Quarter Value

    They should align in a way that at any given quarter I should be able to see both values side by side of what is current and waht was previous qtr.

     

    My intention is to than substract current from previous to find the DELTA. 

     

    When we plot the graph, it automatically adds SUM and double counts the already aggregated raw data values. as the current quarter values are aggrgated qtr over qtr.

     

    Hope this helps adding some more context. Thank you for your time and help.

      Did you mean "Current Quarter"  rather than "Current Year" ?

       

      My included PBIX has the "previous quarter"  measure - is that not sufficient?

        Sorry for any confusion. If you see the attached visual, you will notice that 2014 for the current and previous year table shows the same value. The image is from the PIBX that you shared. I just switched it to table format. I am not able to show the previous and current with different values. They are showing up as same. 

         

         

        What I want is the middle table but it should represnt valued for previous quarter in that column.

        Thanks for the help
