Same Period Last Year Not Working With Filter

[unais]

Dears,

Please advise below  DAX  with Sameperiodlast year not working..

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS) Last Year = CALCULATE(SUM(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[NEWHSL]) ,FILTER(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC,ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] <> "" ),FILTER(GLMapping,GLMapping[GLGroup_Index]="3"),FILTER(ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT,ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT[INCGRP1]="INCGRP1"),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]) )

Whereas without the same period last year it's working.

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS) Last Year = CALCULATE(SUM(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[NEWHSL]) ,FILTER(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC,ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] <> "" ),FILTER(GLMapping,GLMapping[GLGroup_Index]="3"),FILTER(ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT,ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT[INCGRP1]="INCGRP1") )

Also if I remove Filter : 

FILTER(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC,ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] <> "" )

and with SAMEPERIODLAST YEAR it's working

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS) Last Year = CALCULATE(SUM(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[NEWHSL]) ,FILTER(GLMapping,GLMapping[GLGroup_Index]="3"),FILTER(ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT,ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT[INCGRP1]="INCGRP1"),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]) )

 so what's wrong with the query  please advise

Hi @unais ,

It's best to share us your .pbix file for test. Please remove sensitive information and unnecessary visuals. It is suggested to upload your file to OneDrive for Business and then paste the link here.

@unais , use

not(isblank(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] )) for ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] <> ""

Also, make sure your calendar table is marked as date table.

Example of other ways

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year 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 :

Appreciate your Kudos.

I had created Two Mesure 

like below

GLTotalLR = CALCULATE(SUM(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[NEWHSL]),DATESYTD(DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-1,YEAR),"12/31"))

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS) Last Year = CALCULATE([GLTotalLR],FILTER(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC,NOT(ISBLANK(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR])) ),FILTER(GLMapping,GLMapping[GLGroup_Index]="3"),FILTER(ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT,ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT[INCGRP1]="INCGRP1"))

but didn't work ...

I think best thing is to do is create 2 filters

- One with your actual measures with Filter

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS)  = CALCULATE(SUM(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[NEWHSL]) ,FILTER(ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC,ZFAGLFLEXA_FI_DOC[RCNTR] <> "" ),FILTER(GLMapping,GLMapping[GLGroup_Index]="3"),FILTER(ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT,ZCEPCT_PRFT_TXT[INCGRP1]="INCGRP1") )

- After that you should create Last Year Measure

SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS) Last Year = CALCULATE( SalaryWithCC(WithoutWPS), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (Calendar[Date]))

Make sure that your calendar is marked as "Date Table"

maybe it would be better to use if(isblank(field) rather than <> ""
