Same time last year.

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have a dataset with 4 columns. Below is the sample and complete dataset can be found here -&nbsp;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yje0VHf3sNgfuQ65rMCDVPn95Wo6x-tG/view?usp=sharing&nbsp;ProductWeekMetricValueProduct A1/4/2019Units12899Product A1/11/2019Units13893Product A1/18/2019Units13158Product A1/25/2019Units12384Product A2/1/2019Units13293Product A2/8/2019Units13528Product A2/15/2019Units12621&nbsp;This is the desired output (sample - complete output is in the file)&nbsp;&nbsp;1/3/20201/10/20201/17/20201/24/20201/31/20202/7/20202/14/20202/21/2020Units1054912062121401122411611124141226312479Forecast&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Last year (Units)1289913893131581238413293135281262113053Change-2350-1831-1018-1160-1682-1114-358-574Change%-18.2%-13.2%-7.7%-9.4%-12.7%-8.2%-2.8%-4.4%&nbsp;I am actually not what measure can be used to show the same time last year's units and the change. The format of the data cannot be changed (as there are other views dependent on this data) but we can add columns if required for this view.&nbsp;

itsmeanuj&nbsp;Create a weekly Calendar Table or use the data table with Year and Week Number then use the below formula get the previous year same week value. Other steps are simple.https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmoScH5srsIYgYI9aLoSXu8qL3-T5w?e=TDKYug&nbsp;Last Year Units = 
VAR LY = CALCULATE(
    SUM(Data[Value]),
    FILTER(ALL('CAlendar'),
        'CAlendar'[YEAR]=MAX('CAlendar'[YEAR])-1 &amp;&amp; 'CAlendar'[WEEK] = MAX('CAlendar'[WEEK])
    )
)
RETURN

itsmeanuj ,
You try sameperiodlastyear or a trailing year measure
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.

amitchandak&nbsp; dataset is a bit different since it is a weekly data. so we have to compare 1st week of 2019 with 1st week of 2020 and so on.&nbsp;

amitchandak · Answer

itsmeanuj&nbsp;, you use week Rank. and week Number.
