BTW, you can also try to remove suffix and use original date fields as condition for calculate:

Last Year Same Month =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Sell In'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Sell In' ),
        YEAR ( 'Sell In'[Month] )
            = YEAR ( MAX ( 'Sell Out'[Date] ) ) - 1
            && MONTH ( 'Sell In'[Month] ) = MONTH ( MAX ( 'Sell Out'[Date] ) )
    )
)

Is there no way to create a column that calculates the previous year's same month column? So I can create a column where it shows the previous year's month but then want something like this:

    HI Anonymous ,

    You can try to use following calculated column formula if it works for your requirement:

    Last Year Same Month =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        YEAR ( 'Table'[Month] )
            = YEAR ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Month] ) ) - 1
            && MONTH ( 'Table'[Month] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
            && Table[Product] = EARLIER ( Table[Product] )
    )
)

    If above not help, please share a pbix file with some sample data for test.

      Hi,

       

      When I applied the formula, it gave me a figure much higher than anticipated. I realised I also needed to include retailer. I tried to do that:

       

      Last Year Same Month =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        YEAR ( 'Table'[Month] )
            = YEAR ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Month] ) ) - 1
            && MONTH ( 'Table'[Month] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
            && Table[Product] = EARLIER ( Table[Product] )
            && Table[Retailer] = EARLIER ( Table[Retailer] )
    )
)

      it gives me the following error:

      "Cannot nest EARLIER/EARLIEST functions."

       

      Thanks
