Most Valuable ProfessionalDAX Formula
Can someone help me with a simple formula to calcualte the value of the last year (which is YYYY number not a full date) ?
I tried the following formual but it isn't returning any values:
LY = Calculate(AVERAGE(Table[Value]), FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[YEAR] = Table[YEAR]-1))

Only thing i see your formula is missing to work is a MAX call:
LY = Calculate(AVERAGE(Table[Value]), FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[YEAR] = MAX ( Table[YEAR] ) -1 ) )

Thanks a lot! it worked but the LY total is not correct:
Can the totoal be fixed ?

The total is showing LY value of 2012. Because you have used MAX in your DAX. so, it picks Max(Year).
Just Create a calculated measure with following formula,
Last Year = LOOKUPVALUE(Table3[Value],Table3[Year],Table3[Year]-1)
you will get the required Value.
Thanks,

The question is: "what do you want to see at the grand total"? Showing the value for 2012 looks a good compromise, but if you want to fix it, you first need to decide what to show there. At the grand total - being no year in the selection - the very value of "last year" is undefined.
Have fun with DAX!
