Hi Mark1982 ,

 

I think you need to use ALL to removes the filter on 'Date'[FiscalQuarterKey] column, try the following measure:

 

Sales Amount PQ = 

VAR __MeasureDate = LASTDATE('Date'[Date]) // Fiscal quarter selected in slicer
VAR __MeasuredFiscalQr = CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[FiscalQuarterKey]),FILTER('Date','Date'[Date] = __MeasureDate)) // Get FiscalQuarterKey beloging to measured date
VAR __PastFiscalQr = __MeasuredFiscalQr - 1 // FiscalQuarterKey - 1 is past quarter
//VAR __PastFiscalQr = 3 // Hardcoded value
 
VAR __Amount = CALCULATE(SUM(GeneralSales[Amount]), USERELATIONSHIP(GeneralSales[Date],'Date'[Date]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[FiscalQuarterKey] = __PastFiscalQr))

RETURN __Amount


If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
