Last Year Sales by day on a 4-5-4 Calendar

Hello, 

 

I am building a dashboard where I am required to build a table with day by day sales and add another column to represent the Sales $ for Last Year. Se attached for what the table will look like - 

I get my 'Net Revenue Actual' from my database but I am trying to figure out how I can add a column to calculate the Net Revenue for previous year for each date.

This is what my calendar table looks like -

@aksharacoomar 4-5-4 should be 364 days behind.

So with help from the date table, you can try like the example

 

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,Day))

 

In case of Week or any other period, if you can create Rank, that can give period last period and last year same period

This Example of QTR, but true for all periods

Qtr Year  = year([Date]) & [Qtr]
Qtr Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Year ],,ASC,Dense)	
Qtr Start Date = minx(filter('Date', [Qtr Year] = earlier([Qtr Year])),[Date])
Qtr Day = DATEDIFF('Date'[Qtr Start Date],'Date'[Date],Day)+1

measure 
This Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])))
Last Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-1))
This QTD = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank]) && [Qtr Day] <=max([Qtr Day])))
Last QTD = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-1 && [Qtr Day] <=max([Qtr Day])))

@aksharacoomar  You need a DimDate table: https://excelwithallison.blogspot.com/2020/04/dimdate-what-why-and-how.html 

 

Then just use: 

Net Revenue = SUM[Database[NetRevenueActual])

 

PY Net Revenue = CALCULATE([NetRevenueActual], DATEADD(DimDate[Date], -12, month) )

 

Then use in your table from screenshot with columns from the DimDate table.
