Getting Current and Last year Data
Hi,
I would like to know how I can get Current Year and Last Year using a DimTime Table.
I have Filters Like Year and Period.
My DimTime table is not related to the same date each year.
Example : My starting year of 2020 is 05/01/2020 and 2021 is 03/01/2021.
I need to get the sales count and sales amount from current and last year.
I need to get YTD and PTD
I am using DirectQuery to do so.
Regards,
Frank

Anonymous , You can try measures like
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"4/30"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"4/30"))Power BI — Year on Year with or Without Time Intelligence
