LY calculation wrong total

Hi all,

 

I had the table below intially as my output;

And since i only want to show and calculate LY data up to the October (since my CY data is only available untill Oct) i used the following dax:

 

LY Consumption  = IF(ISBLANK( [CY Consumption]) , BLANK(),
Calculate([CY Consumption],DATEADD('Dates table'[Date] , -1 , YEAR))
 
And the output of the table become as follow:

The problem i have is that i am still summing ALL the values from Last year and the total is still the same (including Nov + Dec) and my % calculation is still picking up to total sum of last year.

 

Any body to tell me what i am doing wrong with my calculation? and how i can fix it please?

 

Wishing you all a merry Xmas 😃

 

Thank you in advance

@Mous007 , Change the measure like this and try

LY Consumption = sumx(values('Dates table'[Period]),IF(ISBLANK( [CY Consumption]) , BLANK(),
Calculate([CY Consumption],DATEADD('Dates table'[Date] , -1 , YEAR))))
