    Hi,

    What do you mean by  "just trying to use the year only and not Dates"?  For Date and Time Intelligence functions to work well, you must first create a Calendar/Date Table.  Your measure will then be:

    Revenue LY = 

    CALCULATE(SUM(salesMaster[invoicedRevenue]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]))

    Hi, Anonymous ;


    I created a measure called "Revenue LY" = 

    CALCULATE(SUM(salesMaster[invoicedRevenue]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('salesMaster'[year].[year])).

    Here ('year') should be deleted,I tested it,when as a plus .year and no .year ,The results are different .

    Or you could try the PARALLELPERIOD .

    Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM([value]),PARALLELPERIOD('Table'[Date],-1,YEAR))

    The final output is shown below:

    If not, can you share a simple example and hope to output the result so that we can better understand your needs?
