SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function no longer working
Has anyone else experienced the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function as of the July 2023 PowerBi update no longer functioning in their report?
Hi, Michaelbean21
I have tested it and it works. The DAX Guider you can refer.
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs
Or you can try the equivalent formula:
DATEADD(dates, -1, year)Pbix in the end you can refer.

Hello Michaelbean21 ,
did you try to use Previous year function ?
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
This function is also not working for me. I have had the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR measure working for over 6 months now and all of a sudden it started returning null values in my report.
