Hi
I have a volume effect measure that I'm having issues with when applying an LTM calculation. I believe it's related to a context issue.
This itself works fine:
Volume effect = [Sales PY] * DIVIDE([Trench Volume], [Trench Volume PY]) - [Sales PY]
My LTM measure, which works fine for other measures like Sales etc:
Volume Effect LTM =
VAR _MaxPeriod = MAX('pbi DimDate'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod])
VAR _MinPeriod = _MaxPeriod - 12
VAR _Result =
CALCULATE(
[Volume effect],
REMOVEFILTERS('pbi DimDate'),
'pbi DimDate'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod] <= _MaxPeriod &&
'pbi DimDate'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod] > _MinPeriod
)
RETURN
_Result
PY's:
VAR _Y = MAX('pbi DimDate'[Calendar_YearInt])-1
RETURN
CALCULATE([Measure], 'pbi DimDate'[Calendar_YearInt]=_Y)
I can't use any time intelligence formulas due to accounting periods.
Any tips?
Thanks

Hi, @Nikolainoergard
Based on your information, I create a sample table:
Then create a calculated column and try the following DAX expression:
Volume effect = [Sales_PY] * DIVIDE([Trench_Volume], [Trench_Volume_PY]) - [Sales_PY]
Create a measure:
Volume Effect LTM =
VAR _MaxPeriod = MAX('Table'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod])
VAR _MinPeriod = _MaxPeriod - 12
VAR _Result =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Volume effect]),
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod] <= _MaxPeriod &&
'Table'[Calendar_ConsecutiveFiscalPeriod] > _MinPeriod
)
RETURN
_Result

@Nikolainoergard , for Last 12 monthly or rolling 12 month you can try like
Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH))
Using window functions
Rolling 12 = CALCULATE([Net], WINDOW(-11,REL, 0, REL, ADDCOLUMNS(ALLSELECTED('Date'[Month Year],'Date'[Month Year Sort] ),ORDERBY([Month Year Sort],asc)))
Last year
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
