SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR for a filter date range based on FISCAL YEAR
I am trying to create a bar chart with sum fact this year versus sum fact for the same period last year, based on a filter date range set by the user.
I was able to get it working using a separate measures table with calculated aggregations, but this meant that the user couldn't filter on any other facts in the data table, without breaking the measures table.
I have taken the calculated measures back into the data table, and am using a contiguous date table. Essentially the table below gives me the data I want for my chart from July 2016 to June 2017; but I can only get it here using the ALLEXCEPT feature, which gives me all periods, not the ones the user has filtered for.
Total Cost LY = CALCULATE( [Total Cost], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Dates Table'[Calendar Date].[Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Dates Table','Dates Table'[Calendar Date]))
HI gary_connolly,
have you tried to have the ALLSELECTED something like this:
Total Cost LY = CALCULATE ( [Total Cost], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Dates Table'[Calendar Date].[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Dates Table'[Calendar Date] ) )Or then use the DATEADD function:
Total Cost LY =
CALCULATE (
[Total Cost],
DATEADD ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Dates Table'[Calendar Date] ), -1, YEAR )
)Regards,

Hi gary_connolly,
Why don't you try to use this formula:
Total Cost LY = CALCULATE ( [Total Cost], DATEADD ( 'Dates Table'[Calendar Date], -1, Year) )Regards

Unfortunately when I use the Select function it means if I use any other Filters the chart errors
