Hello!
I have a DAX measure doing some calcs in a table. What im trying to do is, for the values that I still dont have the calcs (blanks), it should show the value from last year.
Example with Image: for July 2023, it should show the value from July 2022 (1,416,733,167.125), August 23 should show the value from August 22 and so on.
thanks.
Luis.
@luismolle assuming you are using a date dimension.
As a best practice, add a date dimension in your model and use it for time intelligence calculations. Once the date dimension is added, mark it as a date table on table tools. Check the related videos on my YT channel

You can try following measure:
New Measure =
COALESCE(
[Existing Measure],
CALCULATE ( [Existing Measure], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date Table'[Date] ) )
