     Hi  Anonymous 

    1. Create a date table using the function CalendarAuto()

    2. Create a measure with the following DAX code

     

    YTD SamePeriodLastYear =
    VAR YTD_Value =
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( [SalesVolume] ); DATESYTD ( 'Calendar'[Date].[Date] ) )
    VAR MaxDate =
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'DateTable'[Date] ); ALL ( 'DateTable'[Date] ) )
    RETURN
        CALCULATE (
            [YTD_Value];
            SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (
                INTERSECT (
                    VALUES ( 'DateTable'[Date].[Date] );
                    DATESBETWEEN ( 'DateTable'[Date].[Date]; BLANK (); MaxDate )
                )
            )
        )


    Did it work ? 👍 A kudos would be appreciated ‌‌📢 Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge
