Nested Calculation item not working

I have created a calculation item for This Year and Prior Year and wanted to calculate Variance for it.

But the varaince calculation item is not working 

Variance = CALCULATE(SELECTEDMEASURE(),Time_Period[Time_Period_Grp] = "TY") -  CALCULATE(SELECTEDMEASURE(),Time_Period[Time_Period_Grp] = "LY")

    A calculation group is only called once per measure, so you cannot nest them like this. You would either need to have the variance in a separate calculation group or replicate the time intelligence logic in the TY & LY calculation items.

        Hi han_rj 

         

        Could you please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

        And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
