Last Year calculations not working

‎09-27-2022 08:36 AM

Hello,

 

Trying to make a LY measure, but it keeps coming up blank

 

I don't have any date granularity in may data set, everything is on one of those 4 dates (so, only one date per year in the whole dataset):

Any thoughts?

do you have a date table?  In order to use date functions properly you will need a date table with a set of continious dates

Of course, I am a dummy, I actually knew that and had a total no-brain moment
