Same Period Last Year

I am using the following calculation to get the data for last year, but the values in the table are blank

 

MTD LY = CALCULATE(TOTALMTD(SUM('Month_Dataset'[Value]),'DIM_Date'[Date]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('DIM_Date'[Date]))

@Heather_W_876 , need little bit of change

 

Try

MTD LY = CALCULATE(TOTALMTD(SUM('Month_Dataset'[Value]),dateadd('DIM_Date'[Date]),-1, year))

 

or

 

MTD LY = CALCULATE(SUM('Month_Dataset'[Value]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('DIM_Date'[Date]))

 

 

make sure DIM_Date is marked as date table
