DAX Expression - Field Heirarchy

I have a simple sales report table with a field for the date, which includes year / month / day, and I want to create a role which filters the other information by the year but don't know how to express it.

 

I tried to enable date heirarchy and then deselect month / day, and then express it as: [Year] = "2013"

 

But I am new to Power BI (and scripting language in general)

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could try to add filter like the formula below. 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ Sales]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Date].[Year] = 2018))

Otherwise, you could create a new column of "YEAR" and then use it to filter.

YEAR = YEAR('Table'[Date])
Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ Sales]),FILTER('Table','Table'[YEAR] = 2018))

If I understand incorrectly, please share some sample data and your expected results. Then we will unerstand clearly.
