Hi, @Huei ;

You could try it.

PY Sales Amt =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( [Sales Amt] ), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Dates[Date] ) )

Or

PY Sales Amt =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( [Sales Amt] ), DATEADD ( Dates[Date], -1, YEAR ) )

Hi amitchandak,

i want the PY Sales Amt to calculated as a column instead of measure. Can this be done?

[amitchandak]

@Huei , Do not use .date. Mark date table as date table. after that you will not get .date

PY Sales Amt = CALCULATE(Sellout[Sales Amt],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dates[Date]))
