Hi Expert
I am still learning in DAX and trying to calculate MAT, PYMAT
this is the formula I use
MAT = CALCULATE(
AVERAGE(data[value]),
DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],LASTDATE('Date'[Date]),-1,YEAR)
)
pMAT = CALCULATE([MAT],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date].[Date]))
Hi @amitchandak , I found the MAT and MAT Prior show the same value when it aggregated (right side)
but show the correct figure when it show at month/year level (left side)
how to make the formula also work for aggregated (left side)?
Thank you 🙂
Hi @PERMATA ,
Could you please provide your pbix file with the latest version? Later will check it and give you a suitable soltuion. Thank you.
Best Regards

Hi @PERMATA ,
It seems that I don't have the proper access to your shard file. Could you please grant me the proper access? Thank you.

@PERMATA , You should use .[Date], Make sure date table is marked as date table
Try the second one like
MAT =
Var _date =LASTDATE('Date'[Date])
var _dt = date(year(_date)-1, month(_date), Day(_date))
return
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE(data[value]),
DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],_date ,-1,YEAR)
)

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Hi Amitchandak,
thank you for answering, I have put a new formula you've suggest but it still show the same figure with previousMAT (pMAT = CALCULATE([MAT],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date].[Date])))
