Hi nj-matt ,
You can create a measure as below:-
_Measure = VAR _current_date = MAX ( 'Table (3)'[Date] ) VAR _prev_date = CALCULATE ( LASTDATE ( 'Table (3)'[Date] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table (3)' ), 'Table (3)'[Date] < _current_date ) ) RETURN CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table (3)'[Sales] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table (3)' ), 'Table (3)'[Date] = _prev_date ) )

FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table (3)' ), 'Table (3)'[Date] < _current_date )

RETURN
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table (3)'[Sales] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table (3)' ), 'Table (3)'[Date] = _prev_date )
)
nj-mattI spoke too soon - this measure does work but it seems to only work for the entirety of the data on the prior date.
So same example above, if I check Dec 19 vs Dec 16 correctly but any grain other than total returns repeated values.
I first changed the formula from ALL to ALLSELECTED for the RETURN porition which worked but again, only returning the total.
SO for exampe if I then pull in quarters I see this -->
Date Sales Sales Prior 12/19 Q1 20 75 12/19 Q2 30 75 12/19 Q3 30 75 12/19 Q4 20 75 12/19 Total 100 75
