SAMPERIODLASTYEAR and visual filters

[mthomas1973]

Good afternoon. 

I have a requirement that shows a measure, and the same period last year in the same table. This is easy enough with the following: 

CALCULATE([MEASURE], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('D Date'[Date]) )

And that gives me a nice table: 

I want the table to be filtered for the last day in a month though (so we see performance on the 30th June, 31st May, etc...) like this:

When I filter the table for a month-end-flag in the date table I get the error about continuous dates (understandable). It is a pretty simple relationship in the model: 

So, my question:

Can I filter sameperiodlastyear in this context with a different approach? 

If not, I can use something like 

'D Date'[Date]=EDATE(SELECTEDVALUE('D Date'[Date]),-12)

But does this have any limitations that I don't know about (end of Februarys, for example)?

What is best practice here? 

Any help appreciated.

@mthomas1973 , The flag is in the date table? and relation with fact is single directional?

Hi @lamth , thank you for your reply. 

Yes, the flag is a simple 1 or 0 in the date table and it is has a single directional relationship with the fact table.
