    Hi aghonaim,

     

    Sorry. Recreate it as a calculated column.

aghonaim,

 

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,

Siva
