    Hi  jlandsm4785 ,

    I created some data:

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create measure.

    LY =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Date]>=DATE(YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date]))-1,1,1)&&'Table'[Date]<=DATE(YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date]))-1,MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date])),DAY(MAX('Table'[Date])))
))
    CY =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Date]>=DATE(YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date])),1,1)&&'Table'[Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])))

    2. Result:

jlandsm4785 the basic rule of using TIMEINTELLIGANCE functions is, it requires continous dates.

 

So what you can do is, Use Calenderauto() or calender function and create the date table.

Create a relationship to this table on WeekEnding.

And then 

 

use below dax.

LY_Spread = CALCULATE([Core Spread] , SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTable[Date]))

 

Use that Datetable date column in visual along with this measure.

 

Let me know if that helps.
