Amending DAX to be YTD when current year and FULL when prior years

[tvalente]

Hi All,

I am amending a report built by my predecessor and there's a requirement to have a PY YTD comparison.

This is my attempt below. SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR will only work if I filter the required months in the current non complete year. How do I avoid having to do this behavior?

Avg Personal Leave Taken PY =

VAR MyTable =

ADDCOLUMNS(

GROUPBY(Employees, Employees[EmployeeNo]),

"Leave Days",

CALCULATE(COUNT(Leave[ApplyDate]),

SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dates[Date]),

Leave[Description] in {"PERS WOC", "PERS WC", "PERS SD"}))

RETURN

AVERAGEX(MyTable,

[Leave Days])

@tvalente , these are examples of Last year data you can get

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

This one is based on today, no need of a date selection
LYTD =
var _min = date(year(today())-1,1,1)
var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
var _day = datediff(_min, _max,day)+1
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year] = year(Today())-1 && 'Date'[Day of Year] <= _max))
