Same period last year using 1 table

[icdns]

Hi everyone, 

I would like to get the value same period last year using one table. I have my date and measure (value) in my table. I have no date dimension. I have this formula but it is not working 😞 

Can anyone help me? 

Previous Year Rainfall =
VAR SelectedDate = MAX(RainfallData[Date])
VAR PreviousYearDate = DATEADD(SelectedDate, -1, YEAR)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM(RainfallData[Rainfall]),
FILTER(
ALL(RainfallData),
RainfallData[Date] = PreviousYearDate
)
)

Thank you!

Hi @icdns ,

According to your statement, I think you can try code as below to create a measure.

Previous Year Rainfall = 
VAR _CURDATE = MAX(RainfallData[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM(RainfallData[Rainfall]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(RainfallData),
RainfallData[Date] = DATE(YEAR(_CURDATE)-1,MONTH(_CURDATE),DAY(_CURDATE))
)
)

@icdns why don't you have a date table?  This would be really, really easy if you had a date table and marked it appropriately.  Then you could use time intelligence functions and specifically SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR().

Is it possible if I will not use a date table?
