Previous year and month

Hello everyone,

I have a matrix with dates and a quantity column.
The second quantity column should show quantities from the previous year. That is, if there are 208 quantities in September 2022 and there are 221 quantities in September 2021, it should be displayed in the column "Quantity previous year".

 

Do you have an idea for a measure?

Hi, @azaterol ;

You could create a measure as follow:

 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Order'[Quantity]),FILTER(ALL('Date'),EOMONTH([Date],0)=EOMONTH(MAX('Date'[Date]),-12)))

 

The final show:

Maybe this version could help : 

Sales PY = 
VAR __Current = MAX('Sales Calendar'[Sales Date])
  VAR __PrevStart = DATE(YEAR(__Current)-1,MONTH(__Current),DAY(__Current))
  VAR __PrevEnd = DATE(YEAR(__Current)-1,MONTH(__Current),DAY(__Current))
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER('Metrics','Metrics'[Sales_Date] >= __PrevStart && 'Metrics'[Sales_Date] <= __PrevEnd),'Metrics'[Sales€])

@azaterol Try:

Quantity previous year measure =
  VAR __Start = MIN('Table'[Date])
  VAR __End = MAX('Table'[Date])
  VAR __PrevStart = DATE(YEAR(__Start)-1,MONTH(__Start),DAY(__Start))
  VAR __PrevEnd = DATE(YEAR(__End)-1,MONTH(__End),DAY(__End))
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Date] >= __PrevStart && [Date] <= __PrevEnd),[Value])

Hello, unfortunately it didn't work. Here is the sample file. At the end what do you mean by value?
