SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR - when using with Power BI Date table , it adds future years

Hi bilingual ,

You cna try restricting you Calendar Date to  the maximum date in the Data_akk Table

Min Year = Minimum year in Data_akk Table

Max Year  = Maximum Year in Data_akk Table

Date =
VAR MinYear = YEAR ( MIN ( Data_Akk[Order Date] ) )
VAR MaxYear = YEAR ( MAX ( Data_Akk[Order Date] ) )
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS (
    FILTER (
        CALENDARAUTO( ),
        AND ( YEAR ( [Date] ) >= MinYear, YEAR ( [Date] ) <= MaxYear )
    ),
    "Calendar Year", "CY " & YEAR ( [Date] ),
    "Month Name", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
    "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] )
)

Hi bilingual ,

How did you create the Calendar date table? Could you please consider sharing some screenshots about this issue for further discussion?

Or you can try to use Calendartauto() to create a date table, create relationship with the fact table and use sameperiodlastyear() function to test.

Hi bilingual 

You can add a filter to your calendar table to be less than today 

bilingual , is Jul 2021 is selected in slicer or filtered on the page or you are showing report by Month-year you will.

Also, make sure Kalendar is marked as Calendar table.

other ways

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))
Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Next month value =  CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),nextmonth('Date'[Date]))
