@Anonymous , Not very clear,

 

With help from date table you can have measures like

 

This year = SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] )

 

last year = CALCULATE(SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

 

diff = [This Year]-[Last Year ]
diff % = divide([This Year]-[Last Year ],[Last Year ])

 

 

In date table, you can have month year etc to group data.
