PeriodOverPeriod with Date slicer

Hi, I would like to get help with the Measure of custom period and date slicer. I want to show the table with this information, for example

 

Date slicer in report to be set: May 3rd 2023 to May 25th 2023

Table

Revenue (May.03.2023 to May.25.2023)

Previous Period Revenue (May.03.2022 to May.25.2022)

%Change between these two metrics


I have been using the common used SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR and it works perfectly if I chose the Date slicer has 2022. But if I only choose as the example above, it does not work. Could any one help me with this one please? Thank you so much!

Hi @DiepNhiep 
you can try with DATEADD() to calculted previous year record of same period.
Measure=
Var Previous sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-1,YEAR))
Var Current sales= CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],0,YEAR))
Return Divide((Current Sales-Previous sales),Previous Sales)

Hi @Uzi2019 , 

It is still not working if I do not choose the Date slicer that including last year...

For example above, if I choose Date slicer to be within May 2023, the Previous Sales as an independent measure would not appear. I want the Previous Sales as a measure also 😉 Thank youu

hi @DiepNhiep 
you can create seperate measure for Prev Sales.

and create seperate measure for %Change.
if it does not help then please share the screen shot of what value you are getting and what value you want.

No problem at all, I just found out I had a small careless mistake. Your way is actually working, gonna mark it as the solution.

Have a nice day, thanks a lot again! 😉
