Previous Year Calculation -1 day

[ErikOmni]

Hi!

So I'm trying to "move" alla previous year metrics one day.  For example; 2022-11-18 should be compared to 2021-11-19. I have solved it on a line by line basis but the sum of days doesn't work. I realize that it must be down to my "max"-part of the calculation but can't figure out an alternative to work.

See below example, the total takes the latest date.

Formula looks like this:

CALCULATE([Sales], FILTER(ALL('Date'[Date]), 'Date'[Date]=MAX(OrderData[OrderDate])-364))

The goal is for PY Sales to look like this:

Any ideas?

Try:

PY with total = 
SUMX(VALUES(Table[Date]), [PY Sales])

Hi! The solution works, but its' not ideal because then I need to create 2 metrics for all PY calculations.

In other words, ideally I would just have 1 metric for PY rather than having to create first the "YTD"* PY calculation and then the sum calculation of that.

*YTD = Max date being last orderdate

Ok, try this then:

PY =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( Table[Date] ),
    CALCULATE (
        [Sales],
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
            'Date'[Date]
                = MAX ( OrderData[OrderDate] ) - 364
        )
    )
)
