    Hi Pat,

    Thanks for responding.

    I was able to resolve this using the below logic :

    CALCULATE([Percentage],
    DATEADD(Calendar_Date,-[Previous_Year_Calendar_Day_Count],DAY),
    ALLEXCEPT(Date,[Calendar_Date])

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Deepak

Are you using MMDD or DDMM? Either way, instead of using time intelligence functions, one way would be to add Fiscal Year and a Day (or Month) of Fiscal Year columns to your Date table. You could then write a measure that moves the context to the previous Fiscal Year on the same Day of the the Fiscal year.
