    Hi v-jiascu-msft,

     

    I am using filter instead as follow:

     

    TOTAL SALES YTD =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM (FACT[Sales] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Date' ),
            YEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
                && 'Date'[Date] <= TODAY ()
        )
    )

    Thanks all for your help!

I deleted and re-created the link but same issue.

 

I also created a new date table : Date = CALENDAR(DATE(2016,1,1), today()), same issue with the relationship

 

In my date table, there is no duplication and I am using format Date.

Hi Anonymous,

 

The relationship could be the root cause. Can you change it to 1:* manually? Please also check if there are any duplicates. Please refer to the snapshot below. 

The SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR works now after the release of the Composite model.
