Memorable MemberDifference among years
Hi all!
I'm trying to compare my supplies among years. I have created three measures:
Total consumption= SUM(Fact_Invoices[Consumption])LY_Total consumption = CALCULATE([Total consumption], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dim_Dates[Date])) Diff YoY = [Total consumption]-[LY_Total consumption]
If no filter is applied, it works fine. But if I want to check all months along the different years it fails. For instance, if I put "July" in slicer, then the table / bar chart only works for 2022 and 2023. I need also to compare 2022 with 2021, 2021 with 2020, and so on...
How can I achieve that?
Thank you in advance
Finally, I have created a calculated column with RELATED to bring names and make it works. It's not an optimum solution but it is what's working... 😅

mlsx4Hi parry2k
If I use a matrix, I have:
- In the rows: name of the center, type of consumption (electricity, water...).
- In the columns: hierarchy (year, month)- I have also tried to put it separately with same result
- In the values: the three measures
And then, as slicers: year, month, center or type of consumption.

Hi parry2k
Yes I'm sure. There are no filters in my report except month
The only difference between your "mimic" report and mine is that I have also field center in the rows (Center and then consumption type). The problem is there for sure, because if I ommit the field it works.
P.S. I have been doing some tests. Center is a dimTable with the code and the name of the center. If I choose the value from there it doesn't work, but if I put the code taken by supplies table it works. However, I need the name. Relationship is 1 to many on the side of fact table. I don't really know what's happening. And what's more, if I reply every step in a new report, it works fine. The problem is that I cannot separate it from the big report.
It is really frustrating!!
