Measure with variable filter (year)

Dear All,

 

I would need your help as I do not manage by myself to solve my problem

 

I have simple measure 

 

Volume Growth rate = ((calculate((calculate(sum('Tint Sales'[Volume]);'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID] >= 1;'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID]<= 4;'Year'[Year]=2017)+calculate(sum('Tint Sales'[Volume]);'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID] = 6));'Year'[Year]=2017))/(calculate((calculate(sum('Tint Sales'[Volume]);'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID] >= 1;'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID]<= 4;'Year'[Year]=2016)+calculate(sum('Tint Sales'[Volume]);'Tint Sales'[CATEGORY_ID] = 6));'Year'[Year]=2016)))-1

 

In this measure the years are fix. But I would like to change it to variable, if I would choose the in the year filter 2017 in the first part of the measure should be stay 2017 and in the second part 2016. The same if I choose in the filter 2016, in the first part should stay 2016 and in the second part should stay 2015. 

 

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me

 

Thank you in advance

 

Feri

Assuming that you are using a slicer with year column

 

2 measures

 

Year=Values(Year[Year])

 

Year-1=Values(Year[Year])-1

 

or you can replace it in your measure
