Same Peeriod Last Year Filtered by Many Columns

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to calculate the sales same time last year filtered by about 20 columns. What is the best way to do this? I been using caculate sum, sameperiodlastyear, and allexcept (with the 20 columns in the allexcept), but the calculation came out incorrect. I thought perhaps of duplicating the table and then instead of allexcept use filters, but I am sure there is an easier way.

Note: unfortunately due to data privacy I can't show the formula or data. The formula I wrote is something like 

CALCULATE(SUM(sales),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(date), ALLEXCEPT(Table1,column a, column b, c, d, etc.).

Thank you!

Why you need multiple allexcept

For multiple allexcept refer : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/ALLEXCEPT-in-a-multitable-setup/td-p/403205

For YTD and LYTD you can use following with date calendar

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
This Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])),"12/31"))

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Last YTD complete Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

@amitchandak I am having problems replicating that.

How would you do it with the made-up data posted?

@amitchandak thank you for your response and work.

If you had to create another column in the table called Sales LY rather than measure would you do it differently?
