Field parameter comparison

Hello,

 

I have three measures in a field parameter slicer: 

Production

Production per hour

Occupancy rate

 

I also have three corresponding measure with sameperiodlastyear()

 

How can I project a comparison between the parameter measure and the corresponding previous year measure depending on the field parameter selection?

Solved it with calculation items and used it as legend

CY = SELECTEDMEASURE ()

PY = CALCULATE (

               SELECTEDMEASURE ( ),

                       SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Date[Date] ),

                            Date[IsPast] = TRUE ( )

)

 

Where Date[IsPast] is a calculated column with the following properties:

VAR LastSaleDate = MAX ( 'Sales'[SalesDate] )
VAR LastSaleDatePY = EDATE ( LastSaleDate, -12 )
RETURN
    'Date'[Date] <= LastSaleDatePY
