SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR issue

[Anonymous]

Thank you to all who respond.

My dilema is trying to calcuate revenue by customer only for the previous year.

Using the field "year" in my salesMaster table. 

I created a measure called "Revenue LY" = 

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

I also have another measure using in a card to display total only,

Diff Between CY LY = SUM(salesMaster[invoicedRevenue]) - [Revenue LY]

My problem is just trying to use the year only and not Dates.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

BLD

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?

I also tried using 

CALCULATE(SUM(salesMaster[invoicedRevenue]), DATEADD(salesMaster[year],-1,YEAR))
