I'm trying to recreate a bar chart featuring this years sales with a line representing last years sales. Similar to the one below:
The bar chart would feature this years sales and the line would be last years. The issue I'm running into is that my data doesn't have a full date so I'm having trouble creating a measure for last years sales. I'm using a table that has a column named Period which is basically a combination of the year and month number. For example, 201803 for this month.
I've tried creating a measure shown below but I get an error since period isn't a date.
Revenue LY = CALCULATE(SUM(Revenue[Revenue]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DimDate[Period]))
If the period column is formatted as number...
May be you can use this
Revenue LY =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Revenue[Revenue] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( Revenue[Period] ),
Revenue[Period]
= SELECTEDVALUE ( Revenue[Period] ) - 100
)
)
Thank you for the reply.
I followed your suggestion and added a few VALUE functions because Period is stored as text. Despite this, no values were returned.
Revenue LY =
CALCULATE(
SUM (Revenue[Revenue]),
FILTER(
ALL(Revenue[Period]),
VALUE(Revenue[Period]) = VALUE(Revenue[Period]) - 100
)
)
