Impossible to use SAMEPEDIODASLASTYEAR and filter at the same time

morning all

believe it or not, i did not find the solution here...:)

i have a Clustered Column chart with values forlast 6 months , based on "SignatureDate". to get these values, I use a filter on SignatureDate for the last 6 months.

I created a measurement to get the same numbers last years

LY = CALCULATE(SUM(Haraka[TCV]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(CRM[DateSignature].[Date]))
 Goal : compare the number of this years with the numbers of last year at the same period
The problem is that the LY measureemtn are also impacted by the filter, and are not displayed cause the SignatureDate is more than 6 months !!!
Any idea to filter my number AND NOT  the LY ones ?

Hi @DavidM06 ,

 

Here I add a range [Date]<=_RANGESTART && [Date]>=_RANGEEND in my FILTER. So we don't need to use SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR in our code.

Hi @DavidM06 ,

 

Here I suggest you to try ALL() code to create a measure.

LY =
VAR _RANGESTART =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( CRM[DateSignature] ), -13 ) + 1
VAR _RANGEEND =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( CRM[DateSignature] ), -12 )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Haraka[TCV] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( CRM ),
            CRM[DateSignature] >= _RANGESTART
                && CRM[DateSignature] <= _RANGEEND
        )
    )
