    Hi,Anonymous 

    1.First I have created the following table and the column names and data are the data you have given:

     

    2. Below are the measure I've created for your needs:

     

    MEASURE = 
    VAR cdate =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Combined Table'[QR Date] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Combined Table' ),
                'Combined Table'[QR Date].[Year] = MAX ( 'Combined Table'[QR Date].[Year] )
            )
        )
    RETURN
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Combined Table'[Quota Credit] ),
            FILTER (
                'Combined Table',
                'Combined Table'[QR Date].[Year]
                    = YEAR ( cdate ) - 1
                    && 'Combined Table'[QR Date] <= EDATE ( cdate, -12 )
            )
        )
    

     

    3.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

    hi Anonymous ,

     

    TOTALYTD and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR are time intelligence functions, to use them, you need a dedicated calendar table. Without the calendar table, try a measure like:

    PYTD =
    VAR _todaylastyear = EDATE(MAX('Combined Table'[QR Date]), -12)
    VAR _result = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Combined Table'[Quota Credit]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Combined Table'[QR Date]),
            'Combined Table'[QR Date])<_todaylastyear
                &&YEAR('Combined Table'[QR Date])) = YEAR(_todaylastyear)
        )
    )
    RETURN _result
