How to Determine Same Period Specific Year

Hello, Just as SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR can change the context of a measure to parallel dates last year, is there a way that I can calculate a meaure in the context of a very specific year -- e.g. 2019?...

    Hey jmeccles ,

     

    yes, you can use the function PARALLELPERIOD to get an individual period.

    So you could do:

    MyParallelMeasure =
CALCULATE(
    [MyMeasure],
    PARALLELPERIOD(
        Datetable[Date],
        -2,
        YEAR
    )
)

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
