Hi alexoriginal,
Can you share a dummy sample file? I'm afraid we can't add it directly. But maybe we can leverage the Total field like below.
Measure 10 = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( DimDate[YearMonth] ), SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ), DIVIDE ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ), FILTER ( ALL ( DimDate ), DimDate[YearMonth] = MIN ( DimDate[YearMonth] ) ) ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactSales[SalesQuantity] ), FILTER ( ALL ( DimDate ), DimDate[YearMonth] = MAX ( DimDate[YearMonth] ) ) ) ) )Best Regards,
Dale

Hi,
Create a calendar Table and write the following calculated column formulas to extract Year and Month
Year=YEAR(Calendar[Date])
Month=FORMAT(Calendar[Date],"mmmm")
Create a relationship from Date column of your base data table to the Date column of your Calendar Table. In your visual, drag Year and Month from the Calendar Table. Write these measures
Values=SUM(Data[Value])
Values in same period last year=CALCULATE([Values],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Calendar[Date]))
Growth in value over same period last year=[Values]/[Values in same period last year]
Hope this helps.
