YTD LY

[Hari19]

Hi, 

Any help appreciated here. 

Query1 - Data feed/ table title, discount base amount and clearing date are the fields name.

I have written the following for YTD on Discount Amount:

Discount base Amount YTD = TOTALYTD(sum(Query1[Discount_Base_Amount]), (Query1[Clearing_Date]))

I am trying to calculate the discount base amount YTD LY. Please guide.

Hi @Hari19 ,

You can create a measure as below: 

YTD LY = CALCULATE([Discount base Amount YTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date])))

In additon, you can refer the following links to get it:

Get the YTD of the same period last year

Sales prev YTD =
TOTALYTD ( SUM ( Sales[sales] ), DATEADD ( ‘Calendar'[Date], -12, MONTH ) )

YTD (this year) vs YTD (last year)

Best Regards

@Hari19 , You have join a Clearing_Date with a date of the date table and then create a measure

Discount base Amount YTD = TOTALYTD(sum(Query1[Discount_Base_Amount]), (Date[Date]))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
