issue with snow schema when using SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR?

I have a schema with relationships:

Many Revenue[ClientKey] : 1 Client[ClientKey]

filter: << To Revenue

Many ClientType[ClientNo] : 1 Client[ClientNo]

Many ClientType[Year] : Many Date[Year]

Not sure how I will use the last 2 relationships in the pbix; but I set the filter to <<"Both tables">>

I am having issues with basic measures:

  • Revenue := YTDCALCULATE([Revenue] ,DATESYTD('Date'[Date] ,"31/05" ))

  • Revenue LYTD := CALCULATE( [Revenue YTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date] ) )

Revenue displays ok. But Revenue LYTD, displays only the total in a table visualization. Could the relationship somehow make this?

    Anonymous , First of all this is not correct ClientType[Year] : Many Date[Year]

    Date table is at date level then create a date from year and join

     

    Date = date(Year([Year]),1,1)

     

    Second, if the Revenue table has a join with the date, then the above should not be there.

     

    For time intelligence to work Date tbale should be marked as Date Table and should have date for last year
