sameperiodlastyear result in blank page when de-selecting year inbetween

Dear all,

 

I have in my power bi, 4 years. Where I am getting the previous year's value also. However, if I de-select a middle year, then I am getting the white field, so there's an error.

 

As you can see below on the picture. As you can see I can select sequencel years, but I can't de-select a middle year.

 

I have tried with sameperiodlastyear and also with dateadd minus 1 year, the problem remains.

Ithe formula I have is;

Revenue All Years 1 year earlier =
    calculate(
        'Calculations Sales Report Related'[Revenue All Years],
        (SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(mapCalendar[Date])))
 
I can do with the (SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(ALL(mapCalendar[Date]))) but then it shows me the total value of it all in each year. But I want to keep that only the values of that year is shown.

If anybody could help with this?

 

Thanks,

Hans

Hello Invisibleman,

 

The issue is SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (and most/all date functions only work with an unbroken, continuous date range. Check out this previous post and see if it helps.

Hello Wilson,

 

Sorry for the late reply. But I have checked and tried the solution. But that is not something that will work for my needs. As it seems that it will copy the needed data to a temp table. But this is not something I wish to do, as there are too many fields that I will need to copy. 

But if there's a way to skip the error, then I am also okay. Even that if that wil mean, that it will not show the value.

 

Regards,

Hans
