Calculation error in measure: Function 'DATEADD' expects a contiguous selection when the date column
Hi guys,
I am trying to create a measure to calculate the variation between 2 years with the following measure:
Expenses variation =
Var CurrentExpenses = TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[Sales]);'Calendar table'[Sales])
Var PreviousExpenses = CALCULATE(TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[Sales]);'Calendar table'[Sales]);DATEADD('Calendar table'[Sales];-12;MONTH))
Return
(CurrentExpenses-PreviousExpenses)/PreviousExpenses
But I got the following error message:
The relationship between both tables is the following one:
How can I solve that?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Hi v-janeyg-msft,
Thank you for your answer.
I was creating a simple data and I have found were the problem was.
I had a not activated relationship between Calendar table [Year] and another table with a both direction filter. When I changed that into single direction filter the problem was solved.
Regards.

PwrBI01 , Mark Calendar table as a date table, That will check for any issue with noncontinuous dates. Right-click on the table there is an option
Also, Try like
CALCULATE(TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[Sales]);DATEADD('Calendar table'[Sales];-12;MONTH)))
Hi, PwrBI01
Generally speaking, it is caused by discontinuous data or incorrect relationship, Please check it.
If it doesn't help, I think you need to provide a sample file,then we can judge.

Hi, PwrBI01
The date using the time intelligence function must be continuous. Please check it.
