Capturing the last trading day of the previous year

[Absalon29]

I have a column of values for each month for each of the last 3 years (no blanks) and a separate date table.  I am trying to write a measure which captures the value on the last trading day of the previous year, which will dynamically update going forward so in 2018 the measure will give the last value date in Dec 2017. Could someone help me with the time intelligence snytax to do this?

Hi @Absalon29

Try this pattern

Measure =
VAR LastTradingDay_LY =
    LASTDATE ( PREVIOUSYEAR ( VALUES ( TableName[Date] ) ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( TableName[Amount] ), CalendarTable[Date] = LastTradingDay_LY )
