Growth rate

I have a calendar from 01/01/2018 until today. I want to compare the Groth rate for this year with last year from my table Revenue. Now unfortunately it also shows me the Groth rate in January 2020...

    Hi.

    SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR does what is says. If you filter your calendar table to show only 2021, the graph should display results for 2020 and 2021.

    Your measure name indicates you want a value spesifically for the year 2020? That sounds a bit like bad practice. What happens when next year comes?
