    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Dateadd is a table function and cannot be directly useful for metric values. You can see the results returned by the dateadd function by creating a calculated table.

    You can try below formula:

    M_ = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table 2'[value] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Table 2'[Date],
        MAX ( 'Table 2'[Date] ) - 365,
        MAX ( 'Table 2'[Date] )
    )
)

     

    Best Regards,
    Adamk Kong

Yeah, that was my first approach. However, it did not work.
