DATEADD DAX / Issue

Hello,

I am struggling since few hours with the DATEADD formula. 
Here my usecases : I would like to compare the number of articles producted between 2022 and 2023.
I have 2 columns in my Tab calls "WebxCRM" with : "publication date", and "Title" (see an extract below).

I have created a quick measure allowing to calculate the number of article created per month (this formula is working):

Total articles all = COUNT(WebxCRM[Title])

 

Also, I have created a measure in order to calculate the evolution between 2022/2023.
Total articles y-1 = CALCULATE([Total articles all], DATEADD('WebxCRM'[Publicationdate],-1,YEAR))

But As you can see below, this is not working, the column "total articles y-1" is empty. I have no idea of why. I am trying to fix this since hours.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi @Juju78 

Try below Measure if it works 
Last Year = CALCULATE(count(WebxCRM[Title]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('WebxCRM'[Publicationdate]))

Hi @Juju78 ,

try using  the SamePeriodLastYear() function instead of using DATEADD().
